2003 · 🇯🇵 Japan · 231 hp
The RX-8 debuted in 2003 as Mazda's last rotary-powered production car, using a naturally aspirated 1.3-litre Renesis twin-rotor engine producing 231 hp. Its unique four-door freestyle body with rear-hinged half-doors and near-50/50 weight distribution made it a distinctive sports car, though oil consumption and reliability concerns hurt its reputation.
