The engine code for the Mazda RX8 is 13B-MSP, which is a 1.3-liter twin-rotor engine producing 231 horsepower and 211 Nm of maximum torque. The maximum power is achieved at 8,200 rpm, while the maximum torque is available at 5,500 rpm. The engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Mazda RX8 utilizes a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The multi-link independent suspension is an evolution of the double-wishbone design, where the two wishbones are replaced with separate links. This type of suspension enhances wheel contact with the road, improving traction.
