For 2011 the Mazda RX-8 carries over unchanged. The 2011 Mazda RX-8 is a four-seat coupe with a pair of rear-hinged access doors. There are three trim levels: Sport, Grand Touring and R3.Manual-transmission models gain a limited-slip differential and rear lip spoiler.
The rear-wheel-drive Mazda RX-8 is powered by a 1.3-liter rotary engine that produces 212 horsepower through the six-speed automatic transmission, or 232 hp when equipped with the six-speed manual (at a breathtaking 9,000 rpm). Every RX-8 engine produces a meager 152 pound-feet of torque.
Fuel economy is likewise unimpressive at 16 mpg city/22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined (six-speed manual).The 2011 Mazda RX-8 comes standard with antilock brakes, front side airbags and front side curtain airbags. In side-impact testing, the Mazda RX-8 received four stars.
The freestyle (Mazda’s term) reverse-opening doors give the 2011 Mazda RX-8 a unique edge on other performance coupes. Few engines offer smoother feel and power delivery. Buyers can choose among the Sport, Grand Touring and R3 trim levels. The manual transmission offers slightly more horsepower under the hood, while the automatic six-speed offers smooth shifting for city and highway driving. The rotary engine offers smooth power transfer and a unique sound signature, making the higher gears even more fun for drivers.
Both the Sport and the R3 models include manual air conditioning systems while the Grand Touring trim level incorporates automatic climate control. The Mazda RX-8 offers drivers and passengers a smooth ride with sports-tuned shock absorbers and front and rear stabilizers. Power-assisted steering and ample power at the high end ensure that the Mazda RX-8 offers driving fun along with its visual appeal.For those looking for something unique and fun to drive, however, the Mazda RX-8 delivers an unforgettable driving experience.
This rotary engine is what really puts the Mazda RX-8 on the map. It’s the only Wankel rotary engine currently fitted to a production car and may be the last. The RX-8’s rotary engine weighs a lot less than conventional internal combustion engine designs and this translates into nimble handling out on the road.
There’s no mistaking the Mazda RX-8 for anything but a pure Japanese sports car. The interior is hard not to love, with its flowing, low-slung design emphasizing the car’s spottiness.
