Series II 2010 Grand Touring Mazda RX8. RX8s got some major updates starting with the MY2009 including enhanced cooling and lubrication to the engine rotors and a more substantial transmission over the 04-08 models.

This is the GT model with every available option offered (except navigation), including moonroof (power), heated side mirrors, power adjustable seats, one touch power drivers seat button for rear entry, rain sensing wipers, home link, Bose audio, keyless remote entry (just have the key fob in your pocket and press the door button).

Engine, ignition system, transmission, and suspension are all in perfect shape. Car runs smooth, idles right at 900rpm, throttle response is perfect and transmission is silky smooth with that super grabby clutch RX8s are known for. Never been in the shop. This is my 2nd rotary, I am an enthusiast of rotaries and have meticulously maintained this car. Plugs were changed by dealer at 25k miles including new K&N air filter. Oil changes were completed way before recommended between 3-4k miles and I kept all my oil change records.

I am the second owner of this car, I purchased it in 2011 with 6,000 miles on it from a local dealer. It is a Mazda Certified Used Car / was when purchased in 2011. Documentation included.

I also own a newer Miata that I drive on the weekends, this RX8 has been my daily driver to and fro work.. I work about 15 miles off of I-85 and she has seen mostly all highway miles, with a redline getting on the exit ramp each day. I am a rotary enthusiast and this is my second rotary car (2004 RX8 I sold for the miata, then later could afford both and a lot of the quirks were fixed with the 2009+ model years so I bought this one).

The only defects on the car are a small ding from a pebble on the interstate hitting the passenger side rear fender, and the rims have some scratches on them. Two rims have small dings also. (See Photos)

The car comes with two key fobs, although one has lost sync with the car (functions/power light comes on but does not communicate with car), the other FOB works great. The dealer can resync the FOB to the car (for a charge). I have never needed the 2nd one. All original books and manuals are included in the glove box.

There is a professionally installed 10" bass tube (purchased by me) in the trunk that can go with the car to the buyer, or I can have the sound shop remove it if you desire. It sounds really great, but does take up trunk space. There is no modification to the stock sound system, just the woofer sharing the factory BOSE amp.

The price is a starting point, willing to negotiate, but not in desperate need to sell the car. I'm looking to sell both the RX8 and miata to eventually buy a larger 4 door sports sedan and get back to just one car.

Please respond with any questions. Car is located in Greenville, SC.

Mazda RX-Vision GT3 concept slinks into Gran Turismo Sport next year

Sun, Nov 24 2019

The World Final of the FIA World Tour in Gran Turismo Sport just went down in Monaco, and Mazda was there with a couple of big announcements. The first is that the Hiroshima-based automaker will become an official video game partner next year, 2020 also happening to be Mazda's centenary year. The second reveal was a sketch of the Mazda RX-Vision GT3 Concept, a GT3-class racer based on the RX-Vision Concept shown at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. Game creator Kazunori Yamauchi and Mazda's North American design chief Julien Mountousse wouldn't get into details, such as how close the final car would look to the drawing or whether there'd be a rotary engine under the hood. Yamauchi would only say Polyphony Digital is modeling the car right now, and Montousse added that designers wanted the Vision GT3 to be a car players really wanted to drive. As much of a looker as the race car is, it's clear some changes will be in order; the front fenders, roof, and rear wing are nearly on the same plane. The brunt of aero accessorizing happens down low, a massive front splitter leading to extended side sills with vertical planes, and what must be a massive rear diffuser with an even larger set of vertical planes. It's hard to tell by the drawing, but it looks like the rear wing supports angle out from the body to merge with the end plates. When the RX-Vision GT3 shows up to contest the 2020 FIA-certified championships in GT Sport, it will join the Atenza Gr.3 as Mazda's only GT3-class car in the game — the Atenza effectively a near copy of the Speed Source Mazda6 that raced in the U.S. Grand-Am series until a couple of season ago, but with four doors instead of two, and a gas engine instead of diesel. Mazda didn't qualify for the GT Sport Manufacturer's Cup this year, they'll be hoping their team can change that next year with the RX-Vision GT3 since, as Montousse said, "That car has all the Mazda spirit in it." There will be more coming from Mazda in GT Sport as well. Word is that the official partnership won't stop at a single new car, and Yamauchi remarked on the partnership, "I think we can keep our expectations high for next year." Fast forward to 17:50 in the video to see the sketch presented, or roll back a bit to 14:00 to listen to comments from Mazda global head of design Ikuo Maeda.

Miata driver pulls off hilariously diabolical move in fender-to-fender racing

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Racing is all about finding the little advantages over competitors that allow you to get ahead. Sometimes those are legitimate means - like being able to take advantage of a better line through a corner - and other times drivers get a little more creative for a leg up over opponents. Sometimes things might even go a little too far. Case in point: just watch the opening of this Mazda MX-5 Cup race from Silverstone in the UK.
According to the YouTube description, we're riding with James Rogers in this video, and he appears to be pretty talented behind the wheel. Rogers has a great start from fifth that has him in third within just a few corners. He starts stalking the top two drivers, who are already having a fantastic race themselves, but then we see that the person in second is clearly willing to do whatever it takes to win. Just watch the video, and you'll see what we mean. Bravo (?) to that racer for some very quick, albeit fiendish, thinking.

2018 Mazda CX-5 spied testing in Southern California

Tue, Aug 9 2016

It appears the replacement for the Mazda CX-5 is on its way. The current model, though a few years old at this point, is still one of our favorite crossovers on the market. Its combination of handsome styling, practicality, and a genuine fun-to-drive nature make it a winner in our hearts. Hopefully this new model doesn't stray too far from that winning recipe. At least on the outside, that seems to be the case. The spy photos reveal Mazda's Kodo design language in full bloom. The general shape is the same as the current model, but the curves are a little tighter and appear similar to the new CX-9 and Chinese-only CX-4. The grille loses the horizontal bars for a deep-set mesh pattern, while the whole fascia appears to be more upright. The headlights and taillights look to be slimmer and slightly re-sculpted versions of the current shape. Other details for the upcoming CX-5 are scarce. The crossover is expected to debut next year as a 2018 model. It's unknown what engines or transmissions will be available, though the current powertrains are likely to carry over. There's also the rumor of a Mazda diesel making its way over, but, as always, it seems like a long shot. Related Video:
