Outline
Exterior design
• The dynamic styling, from front to back and along the body sides, creates a sense of "motion".
• A compact cabin supported by pronounced overfenders, lowers the visual center of gravity, emphasizing a
sense of "stability".
• A pared-down body shape and a boldly contoured form gives the Mazda RX-8 an aggressive appearance.
Interior design
• Modern, high-quality design
— Vibrant styling from the dashboard to the rear.
— Tight and compact dashboard emphasizes lightness and sophistication by adopting new textures, coloring,
and metallic-look materials that add to its unique style.
— Rotor-motif shift-lever knob and sunvisors employing mesh texturing demonstrate the value and attention
to detail.
• Comfortable interior
— Front and rear console boxes with cup holders.
— Door pockets are provided for road maps or a small bag.
— Sunvisors are equipped with illuminated vanity mirrors.
— Premium audio system with nine BOSE speakers is available, offering an acoustic space of high quality.
• Center pillarless freestyle doors providing
unhindered access to the cabin have been
adopted.
• Trunk compartment with a practical capacity
— A storage capacity of approx. 290 L {306 US
qt, 255 lmp qt}, sufficient for two golf bags or
two size-67 Samsonite suitcases, has been
realized by lowering the floor thanks to the
emergency puncture repair kit which requires
no spare tire.
