the other thing to consider is that an RX8 has four doors which can make it more attractive than many coupes that have similar performance and cost more.

I think its quite funny that a Fiesta St is faster than the RX8 around Anglesey.

BumRush the number you posted are for a 250bhp version.... more power slightly better acceleration...

show a source for the acceleration number... the RX-8 is rated with 170kW that are 231PS or 228hp.. no matter if in Germany or the UK...
8 months ago
it actually has 238bhp not 231, and its 0-160kmh is 15.1,
8 months ago
I wonder why is the 0-169km/h time is not under 17 seconds for a car as light as golf gti and with a power of 230hp??

There is no way this car is faster than a S2000, big typo error!!!

Does anyone know the 1/4 mile times for an automatic 2004 RX-8
2 years ago
Production started in 2002... first RX-8 showed up in Germany (outside car shows) in August 2002 during a event to celebrate Felix Wankel 100th birthday (Felix Wankel the father of the rotary engine).. 2002 is correct

You may want to change the title to read "2004 Mazda RX-8" seeing as how they didn't exist back then. 2004 was the first model year.

Performance from Auto Zeitung: 0-100 km/h 6,6 sec. 0-200 km/h 26,5 sec.

Yes but aren't they the same apart from some small cosmetic tweaks? ie. the engine is the same.... didn't seem much point adding a new car to the database when the old and new versions are virtually identical.

Millbrook lap is for 2008 RX-8. Not for this model.
