The RX-8’s LED taillights light up quicker than incandescent bulbs to provide added visibility and
safety. And since their light-emitting diodes contain no fi lament to break or burn out, they’re more
reliable and longer-lasting than conventional bulbs.

The RX-8 Grand Touring’s rain-sensing front
windshield wipers activate automatically at the fi rst hint of precipitation, keeping the driver’s eyes on
the road and hands on the wheel.

Side-impact safety engineering includes horizontal reinforcement
beams in both RX-8 front doors. They’re designed to help defl ect side-impact energy during a collision.
Inside the rear doors are vertical reinforcement beams, plus specifi c top-and-bottom latch mechanisms,
designed to provide extra side-impact protection without intrusive center pillars.

The RX-8 Grand
Touring features front bucket seats with one-touch “walk-in” function. Touch the button located on either
front seatback, and automatically it tilts forward, the seat itself slides forward, and, just like that, rear-
seat passengers enjoy easier entry and exit. Another touch returns the seat to its normal position.

FINALLY, A SPORTS CAR THAT MAKES
EVERYONE FEEL GOOD INSIDE.
As the world’s fi rst and only rotary-powered four-door sports car, Mazda RX-8 stands squarely apart from the rest of the category.
First-rate accommodations for four adults begin with RX-8’s unique, pillarless Freestyle door system, which allows rear-seat passengers to
enter and exit with remarkable ease. The RX-8’s cabin design is equally ingenious—thanks, in part, to the compact size and placement
of its rotary engine—and boasts a true rear seat with suffi cient room for two additional adult passengers. Its surprisingly spacious
7.6-cu-ft trunk provides enough unobstructed cargo room for two golf bags, two duffl e bags or weekend luggage. There’s
even a convenient rear-seat pass-through for longer items like skis. All of which help make the RX-8 the ideal choice
if you want a practical everyday car…that just happens to be one of the purest sports cars on the road.
