The Mazda RX-8 redefined the sports car segment when it was launched in summer 2003, and it continues to shake up the automotive world's definition of what a sports car can be. With an exterior suggesting athletic tension, a twin-rotor engine that continues to win accolades from the automotive press and an interior offering comfort and practicality, the 2005 Mazda RX-8 is a new breed of sports car.

"The sleek, powerful and agile RX-8 debunks the notion of sports cars as fun but impractical," said Weldon Munsey, RX-8 vehicle line manager. "The RX-8 is a car equally at home zooming around a track or taking the kids to soccer practice. It is a true sports car that can pull double duty." center> | |
The 2005 Mazda RX-8 is available as either a 238-horsepower model fitted with a six-speed manual transmission, or a 197-horsepower model fitted with a four-speed automatic with Sport Shift, which incorporates steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters for a Formula 1-style driving experience. Both automatic and manual transmission cars come equipped with power windows, mirrors and door locks, cruise control and a thumping AM/FM/CD audio system with six speakers. center> | |
