MAZDA RX 8
Are you a type of person who likes sports and luxury car? If so, Mazda RX 8 might be the perfect choice for you. The Mazda RX-8 is a sports car manufactured by Mazda Motor Corporation. The first version of the RX-8, chassis code SE3P, was produced from model year 2003.
This 4-passenger sporty car is very affordable sport car. From the first time appearance Mazda RX 8 has reached a big success, and it even has been featured in many movies, TV series, and video clip. One of the famous movies featuring this car is Need for Speed: Tokyo Drift and Desperate Housewives TV series.
Mazda RX-8 is a multi award-winning RENESIS rotary engine. This car won many international motoring awards including 2003 International Engine of the Year, the 2003 Japanese Car of the Year, Australia’s Wheels magazine’s Car of the Year for 2003, the 2004 Singapore Car of the Year, the 2004 U.S. Best Sports Car, and several UK Best Car Awards.
The company invested 40 years of new technology and unique development, and the result makes Mazda RX 8 is the best Japanese sports cars.
Mazda RX 8 is perfect for people with a young family or someone who need something sporty and luxury. This car provides a simple and functional interior design that supports driving pleasure. The stylish cabin is very luxury and high-end quality. I think with the specification, this car is still on budget for sport cars lover.
MAZDA RX 9 PREVIEW
Exterior and Interior
The new sports car will be built on an MX-5 chassis and will weigh no more than 1250 kilos, with a design language stemming from the company’s latest concept cars, including the Shinari which made its debut only two months ago.
We expect to see the company’s well known front grille and the "signature wing", new headlamps with LED lights, and a generally sporty appearance. For the interior, we hope to get sports seats, a sporty steering wheel, leather, and why not go ahead and throw in a few aluminum inserts.
The Engine
Under the hood, Mazda will place a 16X rotary engine rumored to be attached to an electric supercharger. This engine will feature an 800cc x 2 configuration, up from the current 13B’s 654cc x 2 format. It will deliver around 300 HP, while the fuel economy will be improved by 20%, leaving behind the main reason why the RX8 needed to be discontinued. The engine will be mated to a new twin-clutch, two-pedal six-speed transmission with a twist that allows drivers to set the revs at which the clutches engage.
It is also rumored that the RX-9 will be offered with a Honda-style gas/electric hybrid system that will not only include a regenerative braking system to charge the batteries when coasting and decelerating, but also an engine stop/start system that will help improve the fuel economy. This rumor has already been confirmed by a Mazda insider who in a previous interview said : "We’re testing the rotary in conjunction with technologies including an electric turbocharger."
The RX-9 will be offered with 17- or 18-inch wheels and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and stability/traction control.
Compared to the RX-8 who targeted models like the Volkswagen Scirocco, the new RX-9 will focus on competing with models like the Nissan 370Z. Do we smell a Japanese sports car war? We think so. But let’s not let them have all the fun, German sports cars like the Audi TT will also have reasons to fear the new RX-9.
