MAZDA RX-8 R3 DELIVERS EVEN MORE DRIVING FUN

Rivervale Mazda is inviting sportscar fans looking for a thrilling drive to visit the Victoria Road showroom to test-drive the Mazda RX-8 R3. Powered by the unique 231ps twin-rotor engine, the Mazda RX-8 R3 offers drivers a heightened experience with faster steering, chassis and engine responses, more refinement, more equipment and even greater value. 

 

The Mazda RX-8 R3 is priced at £24,478 on-the-road and all models are available to purchase under the new Government-backed scrappage scheme for 10 year old cars.

 

"The Mazda RX-8 R3 is a design classic.  There really is nothing  else like it on the market," enthuses Malcolm Hance dealer principal at Rivervale Mazda.  "Thanks to its Sports Styling Pack, stiffer bodyshell, up-rated suspension, lower gearing, enhanced aerodynamics and Recaro sports seats, the RX-8 R3 is a truly exciting sportscar.  At under £24,500, the Mazda RX-8 R3 is incredibly good value for a 146mph sportscar with the ability to reach 62mph in just 6.4 seconds." 

 

Mazda RX-8 has always had the appearance of a powerful sports car with an aggressive stance and dynamic exterior design.  This has now been enhanced by the standard‑fit Sports Styling Pack, which comprises a sport front bumper, side skirts and rear wing all finished in body colour.  The new model's front wings accommodate the turn-repeater lights, with the front featuring a larger five-point grille, new front headlamps, new front fender designs, new twin round LED rear lamps, while a redesigned rear bumper houses larger twin exhaust pipes.

 

The more aggressive appearance is complemented by the all-new larger diameter 19-inch alloy wheels with ultra-low profile tyres.  These extra-light wheels have five 'rotor‑shaped' spokes and are finished in dark titanium. 

 

The new Mazda RX-8 R3 is available in six body colours – Aurora Blue Mica, Crystal White Pearlescent, Diamond Grey Metallic, Sparkling Black Mica, Sunlight Silver Metallic and Velocity Red Mica.  Whatever colour customers choose, there is no additional charge. 

 

"Mazda RX-8 is the world's only rotary-engined production car and, that very rare creation, a genuine four-seater coupe," explains Malcolm Hance.  "The freestyle doors ensure good access and the car has the typical Mazda functionality, practicality and reliability that also make it a 'use-me-every-day' kind of car."
