2006 Mazda RX-8

The 2006 Mazda RX-8 follows closely on the heels of the 2005 edition. After fans of the RX-7 approved of the company’s revival of their rotary engine technology in 2004, the car became a runaway hit. This sports car comes with four doors, and can easily seat four adults. The RX-8 is equipped with two half-doors in the rear providing easy access to the people sitting in the back.

The famous Renesis rotary engine produces a breathtaking 232 hp when coupled with a six-speed manual gearbox. The six-speed automatic gearbox generates 212 hp, which is a big upgrade from previous models. This is especially notable as the 2006 Mazda RX-8 only has a 1.3 liter twin rotor engine.

The '06 RX-8 is designed to make optimal use of its aggressive air intake design and has a curvy exterior. It comes with side-impact front airbags, curtain-type side airbags, and full anti-lock braking system as part of its standard features.
