RX-8

A rear‑drive coupe with a high‑rev rotary character and crisp proportions. The clever rear-hinged doors add real four-seat access while keeping the silhouette clean and modern.

The 1st-gen RX-8 introduced the Renesis rotary with redesigned porting for better efficiency and emissions, combined with a front-mid engine layout, near 50:50 weight balance, and practical rear-hinged rear doors.

Naturally aspirated 13B-MSP (Renesis) rotary engine; rear-wheel drive. Transmissions include a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic (some markets/years also used a 5-speed automatic).
