The Mazda RX-8, a true icon of the automotive world, was a two-door, four-seat sports car produced from 2003 to 2012. It was renowned for its unique rotary engine, a technology the company had pioneered in the 1960s. The RX-8 was a direct successor to the Mazda RX-7, carrying on the legacy of affordable, lightweight, and exhilarating sports cars. The RX-8 featured a 1.3-liter twin-rotor, naturally aspirated engine capable of delivering 232 horsepower and providing a distinctive, high-revving soundtrack. The engine, housed in a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, was paired with a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission.

One of the RX-8's defining characteristics was its innovative "suicide" doors, which opened rearward from the B-pillar. These doors, hinged at the back, provided a unique entry and exit experience, particularly for rear passengers. The RX-8 offered an engaging driving experience, boasting a well-balanced chassis and responsive steering. Its lightweight construction and relatively low center of gravity contributed to its agile handling and predictable dynamics. The RX-8 was praised for its sporty nature, offering an engaging driving experience for enthusiasts. Its design, with sleek curves and a low-slung stance, captured the essence of a true sports car, while its practicality with four seats and a decent cargo space made it a versatile option for everyday driving. Despite its popularity, the RX-8 faced challenges due to its fuel efficiency and complex engine technology. Its rotary engine, while delivering a unique character, was known for its relatively high fuel consumption and maintenance requirements.
