The Mazda RX-8 has a rotary engine of 231 hp maximum power with a six-speed manual transmission. It is the same as the model is still sold, with minor changes in the lubrication system. It is the only engine available for the new Mazda RX-8, therefore, there is no version of 192 hp.

According to official data the Mazda RX-8 achieves 234 km / h, accelerates to 100 km / h in 6.4 s, in conditions of approval, and spends 11.5 l/100 km for petrol.

It has a high power consumption, which also does not weigh much. The cars of similar characteristics (none of them have rotary engine) spend a lot less fuel.

The Mazda RX-8 model 2010 comes with a set of decorative elements in the body as an input of large air or on the front spoiler in the final part of the body.

According to Mazda, as well as fulfilling a decorative function, play a role aerodynamics. Does not appear that the new model has less aerodynamic drag at forward because there is more speed to the model it replaces, or use less fuel.

Other changes in appearance are the tires that are 19 "in diameter (made of forged aluminum), changed the headlights and pilots (who are now LEDs) and exhaust are larger.

The dashboard is different. Instrumentation, is now a variable red zone, which is more or less extensive depending on the temperature of the engine (BMW also uses a similar system on some models).

The most important engine of the Mazda RX-8 from the previous 2010 model, is in the lubrication system. The oil pump is driven by an electromagnetic system (instead of a mechanic) and is placed in a different place.

The capacity of engine oil changes from 6.9 to 7.0 l and the letter has a different design to improve the lubrication when the lateral acceleration is very high. The rod is used to control the amount of oil is now located on the deck of the engine (the previous model had a side of the engine and it was difficult to insert in its housing).

According to Mazda, the inlets on the front of the body are higher than the previous model, the oil is cooled more equal speed (low temperature 6 º to 234 km / h, which is the maximum speed).
Mazda RX-8
The Mazda RX-8 has a more rigid chassis structure, changing the bar joining the support of the front springs (now trapezoidal section, instead of round). This new bar, along with other changes in the structure, makes the body of the Mazda RX-8 2010 is stiffer than the previous model.

The wheels have a different alignment and one arm of the rear suspension is slightly thicker to better monitor the adjustment of convergence. The cushions are manufactured by Bilstein. The fuel tank has more capacity (65.4 instead of 61.8 l l).

In the transmission system there are three changes. First, the manual gearbox six marches is different (as Mazda is similar to that of the MX-5, albeit with some changes, as the engine of the Mazda RX-8 has more power).

Second, the shaft (the part that transmits power from the gearbox to the rear differential) is more rigid (about 30%). Third, the rear differential has been changed now because a larger reduction (according to Mazda), but the final development of the Mazda RX-8 (32.2 mph 1,000 rpm) remains similar to the previous model.

This may be due to the reduction that makes the new gearbox is smaller than before, thus compensates for the further reduction of the differential.
