The revitalised Mazda RX-8 sports car range will finally arrive in Australia this month, with Sydney Mazda dealer, Eurocars Mazda, at Artarmon, taking delivery of the luxury model in mid-July.
The new look RX-8 features a range of mechanical upgrades designed to enhance its iconic status as the world’s only rotary-powered, four-door sports car.
There are three new RX-8 models - a luxury model, GT and conventional model. The GT is a new version of the RX-8 and the luxury and conventional versions are upgrades of the existing RX-8.
“The team at Eurocars Mazda is very excited about the new RX-8, and the luxury model will be ready to test drive at our Artarmon showroom in mid-July,” said Eurocars Mazda Dealer Principal, Tim Garner.
“Anyone interested in a test drive can make a booking online or call us on 8905 5555.”
The Mazda RX-8’s performance and handling has been improved through specially tuned sports suspension, with light-weight 19-inch wheels and a wide range of modifications to its unique RENESIS rotary engine, which is capable of revving to 9,000 rpm.
The original Mazda RX-8 has won more than 50 automotive awards including 2003 International Engine of the Year and 2003 Wheels Car of the Year in Australia.
