2010 Mazda RX8 R3

While continuing to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the world’s best-selling roadster, the Mazda MX-5, Mazda UK is saying ‘goodbye’ this autumn to a very different, although equally iconic sportscar in its model line-up – the rotary-engined, four-seater Mazda RX8.

-Less than 100 examples of Mazda’s unique RX8 R3 coupe left in UK stock
-Highly-specified 2010 RX8 R3 model, priced at £25,540 (OTR)
-Unique four-seater, four-door sports coupé with sensational looks and practicality
-Low rate finance available with no minimum deposit requirement
-UK customers purchase 14% of 186,632 total global RX8 sales since 2003 launch

“British motorists love sportscars and engineering excellence, so it is no wonder that over the last seven years the RX8 has been close to their hearts. More than 26,000 enthusiastic drivers have purchased an RX8 in the UK, won over by its truly exhilarating drive, fascinating super-smooth rotary engine and many unique features, combined with everyday reliability and practicality,” comments Mark Cameron, Sales Director, Mazda UK.

"everyday reliability and practicality"

- Like the Horrible Fuel Mileage? Sales Directors can be full of crap at times.

The RX8 is one of the most buzzless "Sports" cars on the planet. Doesn't have any torque, Doesn't really perform that well, and gets horrible fuel mileage. Cant wait for them to scrap it.

Never mind this trash talk. Just bring back the RX7 and call it a day. Everyone always wanted a successor to the RX7 not some replacement RX8 that didn't look half as good or performed as good.

If this car would have had performance then it would have been a HUGE hit.

I would love to see this car with a V6. I think its a better handling car than the Nissan 370Z and would be a great competitor in that market with a V6. The problem with it now is that the tuners hands are tied. However the RX7 really needs to come back in a big way.
