It's rumored to have a new rear suspension as well.

Enjoy!

Importance Q is: how about the engine?

Business · 01-07-2008, 01:43 PM

and here comes a new wave of "zomg i gotz rx8 wheels on my 6 and thats how it shoulda came from the factory" threads.

At first glance it doesn't look different at all. And because its a facelift nothing much will be done to the engine, save for improving reliability (lmao, yeah right,) emissions, or the ecu. I'm interested in the rear suspension changes....

Raynman · 01-07-2008, 01:44 PM

It's rumored to be the RENESIS with revisions for slightly more power.

smokeU6s · 01-07-2008, 02:31 PM

Could it be the new 16x??

Any guenie pigs??

the new rotary is for the next gen RX car. You don't drop a new engine in for just a facelift.

so when is mazda releasing the facelifted rx8 in america???????????????????????? damnnnnnnnnnnnnn the frontend looks so much more aggressive and sexier

wpeng0 · 01-08-2008, 10:13 AM

So Mazda going to do the FIRST facelife since RX-8 released in 2003? So the next gen will be out in..... 2013

10 years product life cycle...

I imagine they had enough problems with the RX8 anyways and that Rotary research and development costs a hell of a lot more than a standard piston engine.

Nope.

But I still like the RX-8.
I see new Euro 6 in the lower front end.

It's not bad but I like the current "old" RX-8 better.
