The Mazda RX-8 is a sports car that was produced from 2002 to 2012, first showcased in 2001 at the North American International Auto Show. As the successor to the RX-7, and like its predecessors in the RX lineage, it is equipped with a Wankel rotary engine. The RX-8 went on sale in North America for the 2003 model year.
The number of Mazda RX-8 cars in Vietnam can be counted on one hand, and the person rumored to own the most of this model is Dang Le Nguyen Vu. The selling price of the Mazda RX-8 ranges from 450 million to 800 million VND. However, recently, there has been a shocking asking price for a 2005 Mazda RX-8, and many people were surprised when they heard the number.
Accordingly, this 2005 Mazda RX-8 is being offered for up to 1.39 billion VND, with this price, the JDM car is competing with many other sports cars and rare models such as the Ford Mustang or Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG.
Of course, the Mazda RX-8 cannot be compared to the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG, but the selling price of the car in this article has made many people think that the seller is asking for too much, as it is two to three times the usual transaction price.
The most notable feature of this Mazda RX-8 sports car is that it is equipped with a manual transmission. In addition, the exterior of the car has been modified with a wide-body kit, which looks quite eye-catching. However, this has not stopped netizens from debating the price of nearly 1.4 billion VND.
Compared to the original Mazda RX-8, this car has been fitted with a wide-body kit, which has significantly increased the width of the car, and will be quite a headache for anyone intending to buy it as the inspection process can be difficult. This modification is most noticeable at the rear wheel arches, which have been widened the most, making the body of the car look larger. The front wheel arches have also been widened, but not as much, and there are additional side skirts that run from the front to the back of the car.
When viewed from the rear, the Mazda RX-8 looks like a giant in a tiny body. The interior of the car is still quite new, featuring a dark color scheme, and the suicide doors are a characteristic feature of the Mazda RX-8, with the rear door hinges mounted in reverse, creating a door opening similar to that of a Rolls-Royce, making it much more comfortable for passengers in the back seat to enter and exit the vehicle.
The Mazda RX-8 is powered by a 1.3-liter Renesis rotary engine that produces a modest 189 horsepower. However, this was increased to 238 horsepower in the 2008-2012 models. This engine has financial advantages for Japanese consumers as the engine displacement remains below 1.5 liters, an important consideration when paying annual road taxes in Japan. The car in this article is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission.
