Mazda RX-8

Rotor show has us in a spin

Is the world of performance cars about to be turned upside down? With a sensational blend of performance, price and design, Mazda is promising that its new rotary-engined RX-8 has got what it takes to do much more than that. To put such a bold claim to the test, Auto Express got behind the wheel of the first car available in the UK and headed for the open road.

FIRST OPINION

    With its rotary engine, four-seat interior and innovative body, the stylish new RX-8 is a difficult car to pigeonhole. It's sporty yet refined, practical but cool. What matters most, though, is that it's a lot of fun to drive, competitively priced and great to look at. We are convinced it's going to be a machine that's at the top of driving enthusiasts' wish lists.
