Mazda RX-8

All hail Mazda's master of spin

The waiting is finally over... After four years of teasing us with concepts such as the RX-01 and the RX-Evolve, Mazda has let Auto Express behind the wheel of its sensational RX-8.

The waiting is finally over... After four years of teasing us with concepts such as the RX-01 and the RX-Evolve, Mazda has let Auto Express behind the wheel of its sensational RX-8. As we turn the ignition key and hear the sewing machine whirr of its hi-tech engine, our patience certainly seems to have paid off.

Likely to cost only ΂£22,000 when it goes on sale in April next year, the svelte newcomer is aimed at the Audi TT and BMW 3-Series Coup

FIRST OPINION

    Not everyone will like its flashy styling, or the rotary engine, but there's no denying the exclusivity of Mazda's RX-8. It's good to drive and balances comfort and performance. No doubt the rotary's inventor, Dr Felix Wankel, would be delighted with this application - and it's good news for us, too.
