2012 Mazda RX-8 Spirit R The Rotary Legends Finest Hour
The Mazda RX-8 Spirit R is the ultimate and final edition of the RX-8, built to celebrate Mazdas iconic rotary heritage. With its high-revving 1.3L Renesis rotary engine, lightweight chassis, and Spirit R-exclusive upgrades, this is the most refined and collectible RX-8 ever made. Limited in production, the Spirit R brings together performance, style, and exclusivity in one timeless package.
In the world of Japanese sports cars, rivals like the 370Z, 350Z, S2000, and GT86 each offer excitement, but none deliver the unique rotary experience of the RX-8. The 370Z brings power but lacks the nimble balance of the RX-8s near-perfect weight distribution. The S2000 is legendary but doesnt offer the Spirit Rs rarity or rotary thrill. The Toyota 86 is fun but underpowered compared to Mazdas rotary masterpiece. The RX-8 Spirit R stands apart as a drivers car through and through agile, balanced, and infused with rotary character.

1.3L Renesis Rotary Engine high revving, unique driving feel
