2001 Mazda RX-8 Concept<\/h1>\n

DETROIT, January 9 – Mazda Motor Corporation took a giant step toward bringing to market a revolutionary high-performance, four-door sports car today with the unveiling of the Mazda RX-8 design and engineering model at the North American International Auto Show.<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on Mazda’s RX-EVOLV concept car introduced at the October 1999 Tokyo Motor Show, RX-8 is much closer to an actual production sports car than its predecessor.<\/p>\n

Mazda President Mark Fields: “With its four-door freestyle door system, four-passenger comfort and RENESIS rotary engine, Mazda RX-8 is the next big thing in sports cars,” said Mazda President Mark Fields. “I wouldn’t be surprised if you see this car – or something very close — on some of the world’s most scenic, most fun-to-drive highways in the not-so-distant future.”<\/p>\n

Highlights of the car include:<\/h4>\n

-Mazda’s powerful, lightweight and compact RENESIS rotary engine
\n-Central mid-ship layout and 50:50 front\/rear weight distribution that dramatically enhance control and handling
\n-Freestyle door system, with front-hinged and rear-hinged doors and no center pillar, that makes getting into and out of the rear seats faster and easier
\n-Comfortable seating for four adults
\n-A unique interior design that mixes the traditional with new contemporary material that appears to “wrap around” the passengers<\/p>\n

Kei Kado, senior managing director: “Overall the RX-8 has a compact-looking body, while providing enough interior room to seat four adults comfortably,” said Kei Kado, senior managing director In charge of R & D and Quality Assurance. “The use of a compact rotary engine allows for the low hood, short overhangs, and overall sports car look while providing interior room on par with a sports sedan.”<\/p>\n

An integral part of Mazda’s revolutionary engineering heritage is its 40 years of experience with the rotary engine. Mazda is the only automobile manufacturer in the world that offers a pure rotational internal combustion engine. The RENESIS rotary engine represents the potential that Mazda believes lies within this unique powerplant.<\/p>\n

Phil Martens, managing director: “It all starts with the rotary engine,” said Phil Martens, managing director in charge of Product Strategy, Design and Product and Powertrain Development. “RENESIS is naturally aspirated, and it is 30% lighter and more compact than the turbocharged rotary engine (13B-REW) in the current RX-7. The engine’s weight, size, low center of gravity, and positioning in the vehicle give the car excellent maneuverability and high-end performance.<\/p>\n

“With its side intake and exhaust ports, the RENESIS rotary engine also enhances fuel economy and reduces emissions,” he added.<\/p>\n

The central mid-ship powertrain layout positions the engine behind the front axle, even closer to the center of the car than with Mazda’s typical front mid-ship rotary engine layout.<\/p>\n

The engine will have power levels up to 250 horsepower at 8,500 RPM, Martens said, and will meet Stage IV emissions in Europe at launch.<\/p>\n

RX-8 structure suppresses bending and twisting of the body and enhances performance by inhibiting vibration and minimizing noise to provide a supremely quiet driving environment.<\/p>\n

The RX-8 is new generation four door sports car totally different from the RX-7. To create a new genre of sports car, we named it “RX-8.”<\/p>\n

Mazda is known worldwide for its heritage of building innovative affordable cars like the MX-5 Miata and the first generation RX-7 sports car that provide a feeling of oneness between car and driver<\/p>\n
