R3 Package for Mazda RX8
Mazda will further the evolution of the four-door, four-seat sports coupe, giving the RX8 a refreshed exterior and interior design, enhanced performance and a new R3 sport package for the ultimate driving enthusiast. Unchanged is the core of the RX8 - a high-powered, lightweight and perfectly balanced machine powered by the world-renowned twin-rotor RENESIS rotary engine.
Refinements for the 2009 Mazda RX8 include restyled front and rear bumpers and front fascia; sporty, high quality-finish front and rear lights; and larger headers and exhaust pipes. The 2009 RX8 also offers a new five-spoke alloy wheel featuring a symbolic and sporty design of the rotary engine, with different arrangements for each wheel size.
Interior enhancements include redesigning the center instrument panel shape and gauges to give a feeling of dynamic movement. Additionally, a variable red-zone was added to the tachometer that rises as the engine comes to operating temperature, and a new steering wheel and redesigned front and rear seats are included.
Providing the very best in rotary-powered motoring, the Mazda RX8 R3 harkens back to the R1 and R2 packages offered on the mighty third-generation RX-7, and adds a sport-tuned suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers and front suspension cross members filled with urethane foam. Filling the cross members makes for a smoother ride, minimized vibration and greater suspension control.
R3 Package highlights:
- Re-styled front and rear bumpers
- Larger headers and exhaust pipes
- Redesigned center instrument panel
- Variable tachometer
- Redesigned front and rear seats
