The Mazda RX-8 is a Japanese sports car that was presented to the general public in 2001 during the Detroit Auto Show. Its serial production started in 2003 and lasted until 2012. During this time, about 192,000 cars of this model were produced. Production was carried out primarily in the city of Hiroshima in Japan. The RX-8 model was designed and put into mass production in order to expand the commercial offer of the Mazda Motor Corporation and replace the RX-7 model in it. The new car differed in several important elements compared to its predecessor. First of all, the styling of the body and the interior of the passenger compartment were changed quite significantly. It also used improved petrol engines with higher work culture and dynamics, reaching 192-231 HP, produced in the Wankel system. The Mazda RX-8 also had great properties on the road, confidently entered and exited corners and had relatively rich basic equipment. Its significant disadvantage was high fuel consumption, characteristic of Wankel engines. The RX-8 was offered on the markets primarily as a 4-door coupe.
