The Mazda RX-8 was built from 2003 to 2012.
The RX-8, the most traded version: The RX-8 represents Mazda's bold commitment to rotary power when everyone else abandoned the Wankel engine. Its naturally-aspirated 13B-MSP RENESIS rotary produces 232hp while revving to an otherworldly 9,000 RPM, delivering a soundtrack no piston engine can match. The suicide doors and 2+2 configuration made it practical enough for daily use, while near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution and low center of gravity created handling dynamics that still impress today. Production ended in 2012, marking the end of an era for production rotary engines. Clean examples are increasingly sought after by enthusiasts who appreciate the unique engineering and driving experience. The rotary's quirks—including higher oil consumption and maintenance requirements—have scared off casual buyers, but collectors recognize the RX-8 as the final chapter in Mazda's rotary legacy. Values are climbing as enthusiasts realize these cars represent something truly irreplaceable in automotive history.
