The Mazda RX8 is a sports car manufactured by Mazda Motor Corporation. It first appeared in 2001 at the North American International Auto Show. It is the successor to the RX-7 and like its predecessors in the RX range, it is driven by a rotary engine. The RX-8 began North American sales in the model year 2004.
Mazda rotary engine vehicles introduced in the U.S. in 1971, beginning with the R100, followed by the RX-2 RX-3 RX-4 RX-5, and then three generations of RX-7 sports car. However, the lack of creature comfort and ease of use, with the high price and a declining interest in sports cars and coupes coupled at this time, go with the Mazda RX-7 from most major markets except Japan. After 1995 Mazda suffered from a relatively insignificant product line in the U.S. save the MX-5 Miata.

The models used Dino Ferrari naming designation of displacement and cylinder count with two digits for the size of the engine deciliter, and the third track of the number of cylinders, ie, set 246, a 2.4-liter six -cylinder and 308, a 3.0-liter eight-cylinder.
