Hailing from the rich R1 and R2 heritage of the RX-7, the 2010 RX-8 R3 was designed to satisfy the ultimate sports car enthusiast by building upon the styling, performance and handling that the RX-8 is known for.
- Bilstein® shock absorbers complement the urethane-foam-injected front suspension cross member to provide superior dampening and handling performance.
- Strong, lighter 19-inch forged aluminum alloy wheels are paired with high-performance 225/40R19 tires that help maintain grip and vehicle control.
- The R3’s enhanced handling is complemented by the powerful 1.3L RENESIS rotary engine with an impressive 9000 rpm redline mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
- Uniquely-sculpted exterior features an aerodynamically modified front end, while side sill extensions and a rear wing spoiler help aid vehicle stability at high speeds.
- Velocity Red Mica and exclusive Aurora Blue Mica exterior set the R3 even further apart.
- Standard integrated side turn indicators, fog lights, Xenon self-leveling headlights and rear twin circular LED taillights.
- Aggressively styled cockpit features aluminum foot pedals and foot rest, as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel, parking brake and shift knob with aluminum accent.
- Designed exclusively for the R3, Recaro® front sport seats add a high-performance feel to the interior while providing better lateral support for shoulder, torso and hips.
- Bluetooth® hands-free phone system† allows you to take calls without taking your concentration off the task at hand – pure high-performance driving.
- 300-watt, 9-speaker Bose® audio system with Centerpoint® Surround Sound and AudioPilot® provides surround sound from the in-dash, 6-disc CD/MP3 changer or auxiliary audio input jack for mobile media devices such as an iPod*.
- With the available Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry and Start System you can keylessly lock or unlock both doors, start the engine or remotely operate the power windows.
- Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)‡ with Traction Control System (TCS) optimizes rear-wheel traction and cornering while increasing driver vehicle control.
- Tire-Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), advanced driver and front passenger air bags**, side air bags and side curtains are all standard.
