Mazda RX-8 R3

The ultimate embodiment of Zoom-Zoom, the stunning new Mazda RX-8 R3 takes you to a whole new level of driving exhilaration.


This latest generation has at its heart a 231ps RENESIS rotary engine spinning to the electrifying 9,000rpm red line - that's where peak power was reached in our Le Mans-winning Mazda 787B, the only Japanese car ever to have won the legendary race.

This is how driving should be. The 6-speed gearbox provides a sporty shift and you'll want to explore the immense rev range. Smooth drive? The RENESIS rotary engine has only three moving parts ensuring a smooth power delivery at all times.

What comes with such an incredible car?

  • Optimum suspension settings and improved balance and dynamic ability thanks to Bilstein dampers and urethane-foam suspension cross-members. Twenty per cent stiffer than previously, the ride is one you'd expect from a race car, without the harshness.
  • Lightweight Recaro front sports seats with integral head restraints
  • Breathtaking performance and acceleration (62mph from a standing start in only 6.4 seconds), which benefits from enhanced aerodynamics and engine cooling
  • A six-speed manual transmission providing a more intuitive feel and smoother gear shifts.
  • 19" dark titanium alloy wheels with ultra-low profile tyres improve grip and provide an impressive stance in combination with the aggressive body styling.
  • Twin 90mm exhaust pipes and LED tail lights
  • Interior specification including climate control air conditioning, Bluetooth® connectivity, surround-sound BOSE® premium audio system and cruise control

Impressive? Oh yes.

In fact, the only item left to specify is your colour. Choose from a selection of Sparkling Black Mica, Metropolitan Grey Mica, Velocity Red Mica, Crystal White Pearlescent, Aurora Blue Mica or Aluminium Silver Metallic.

It all helps to make the new Mazda RX-8 R3 our finest performance car to date. Experience the Mazda RX-8 R3 for yourself by requesting a test drive or contacting your local dealer
