The Mazda RX8 is available in China. The Mazda RX8 is a four-door, four-seater sports car with body dimensions of 4460mm in length, 1770mm in width, and 1340mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Mazda RX8 features a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, with a front suspension type of double-wishbone independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension. The exterior changes of this car mainly focus on the bumper and exhaust parts. When all the lights are turned on, the Mazda RX8's rear taillights are adorned with a ring of LED accents, exuding a luxurious aura amidst the orange-yellow glow. To maintain the overall visual effect of the bumper, the trunk lock is positioned on the right rear taillight.
As an old car enthusiast, I still remember when the Mazda RX-8 entered the Chinese market. The roar of its rotary engine was incredibly cool, but sales weren't high, and it wasn't very popular domestically. A small batch was imported in the mid-2000s, but due to high fuel consumption, troublesome maintenance, and strict domestic emission standards, it was quickly discontinued. Nowadays, you can't find new ones, only taking chances in the used car market. Last year, I saw a guy in Beijing selling a used one on a forum, with the price soaring over 200,000 RMB, and it's still hard to maintain. If you're dead set on this model, you'd have to go through importers for gray market cars, but the procedures are complicated and risky. I think it's like a vintage car, only suitable for collectors to play with, not practical for daily driving.
