Minor change (the MC) RX-8 received top grades, "Type RS" ran quite shocked. Until RX-8 during the run felt "Even though sports FR four-door four seater, the former RX-7 and compared with the current sports roadster also will be slightly below… racy" is completely erase the impression because they were.

Information from the steering transmission is rich and the rear suspension is firmly粘っbeautiful body control. Rotary and the unit is now more than ever "TSUKI" have quite such a run is really dramatic. RX-8 is the latest, without hyperbole or more sports roadster and the same to get racy.

The biggest factor is the car than ever and the dialogue is clear. So alight from the car and running, unprecedented fulfillment exhilarating feeling to be there. So why so much of a RX-8 has changed? First reason is the mounting of the rear suspension has changed so drastically changed. Then PAWASUTE electrical characteristics change. To improve vehicle body stiffness. Rotary engines and transmissions, and may include significant changes. In other words, when we run him feeling as part DORASUTIKKU feel that the improvement in the RX-8 is very "reborn" and an expression of feeling good enough to have the right hands.

HAKO RX-8 and so far every one of which has continued to evolve, which is called MC is too drastic changes. Design changes in the front fender, changed appearance. Meanwhile the interior, redesigned seats and steering a bold change. But is bigger than anything "type RS" and called additional top grade. RS MC of this type is received on a major change in the more clued-up has been dedicated tune, written at the beginning of a wonderful impression from the finish. Type RS語りたいquick to the front of the MC was a big part of the mechanism of change記そう.

First rotary engine. Last year's Tokyo Motor Show is the next-generation Mazda rotary engine in the concept of "X 16" announced, but using the latest technology to adopt. This is a change of the engine oil supply system, from traditional mechanical electromagnetic newly adopted. And the corresponding fuel and regular gasoline was also conservative, but it is a big topic. And the previous maximum output of 235 ps is decreased from 15 ps DORAIBABIRITI is much improved. MT also simultaneously combine traditional manufactured by Aisin made to change from within Mazda. According to the final gear ratio change gears and lower acceleration performance is also improved. Meanwhile the conventional six-speed AT street AISHIN made, but only touched paddle gearshift DAIREKUTOCHENJI to finally be able to adopt her.

MC not seem to have changed chassis ago. First TAWABA Front handed in the front passenger seat, steering mounted INPANEMENBA strengthen joint stiffness sense to improve the department. Opening the door further strengthened by the joint body stiffness up. And big change is the rear suspension. Specifically, changes to the suspension mounting points, and review the alignment simultaneously increased stiffness. Input from unnecessary disturbance to the stability of the cut and give the necessary information as to convey. Front TAWABA conjunction with the adoption of the torsional stiffness up in the spring and raise rates. As a result, while the front and rear of stiffness to settle up, the front load from the rear to convey well.

PAWASUTE electrical parameters of the software to change the steering feel better previously obtained. This is mainly in the area of high-speed tuning in to change the direction of increased torque feedback as raising a sense of grounding. European software / day unlike in the United States, the European SENTAFIRU emphasize that the United States is a quick sense of the importance that there is a seasoned, but this time I tried as far as electric PAWASUTE feel toward enrichment will be felt more strongly favorable impression.

These types of changes are non-RS models also bring a favorable impression of the run. For example, the same type of 235 ps S, E, including the type of 215ps, MT provides more certainty to the starting stalls when handling not only have the answers. And 18 inches on a pair of S-type, E-type 17-inch ride and handling balance of both is high. In particular, Type E, and the six-speed AT cars, sport sedans to full many凌ぐexcellent ride and handling is highly efficient sports has been achieved, in a sense ATENZA excel as a sedan-equipped to be as good as .

But the glow is the type of RS. CD values from 0.31 to 0.30 and improved to Aero, Size 19-inch tires and aluminum, BIRUSHUTAIN damper manufactured by the company and joint development REKARO bucket seat and various other parts will be given only on the foam in FURONTOSASUKUROSUMENBA urethane filled to the linear damping and steering sense for me to contribute ride.

RS is the type of surprise in spite of a pair of 19-inch, first in the city to ride優れる. Mazda is in ATENZA before quickly adopted by 18 inches to ride realized how good, but this is a big 19-inch diameter tires in use again Mazda is the manufacturer that sounded good. RS BIRUSHUTAIN type of course is only a good ride, as well as to achieve good body control. Normal sports than simply enhance not only in the region have more than normal body firmly in the road to capture the sense of moving it is born.

Mazda rotary engine is the only began to evolve into a new generation version and revive the market have emerged from the RX-8 is already five years old. RX-8 appeared before the Rotary survival between Ford and Mazda have been heatedly debated. But it was surprising coming from the Ford was president and James Miller, the top development and Mr. Martin Leach, Ford's "survival Rotary NG" disagree with his surviving Rotary . Additionally equipped with a new generation rotary engine car (= after the RX-8) Planning and Development, said earlier after継いだPhilip Leach, who is backing Mertens said. I think the other Ford brands affiliated with Ford's opinion is heard挙げ句decline in performance was sold to be quite different. Mazda is backed by the fact that their own core technology to revive them, and then as corporate earnings recovery, now receive a high level of confidence from Ford. But such a wonderful story and RX-8 is contrary to the original plan to sell transit is a fact. RX-8 appeared at the Easter sales depend on the RX-7 officials have said, but unfortunately the next RX-7 still see the face of the certificate. RX-7 the next project itself is being… it.

That rotary engine is now back to the crisis of survival is no doubt. Clear future should consider fuel efficiency and emissions performance and output and ensure balance in the current situation is severe. Appeared in last year's Tokyo Motor exhaust volume with the expansion of new technology-"X 16" in a way they had to erase the concept of the next generation. Mazda Will it can be marketed? It is equipped with a new model of the RX-7?… There?

And a detailed look at each, and the situation is still far less than bright. However, the RX-8 is a little more稼げれto the number of next-generation RX-7 Rotary also Keun-tinged reality and what is certain to become. And of course when Mazda is coming to prepare for the next RX-7 project started as a concept to them. The direction is absolutely unclear, as is whether Mazda revival of a strong will want. Such determination to get through to, of course, our users Mazda, and the RX-8 support is the biggest element to it. In this sense, large-scale MC plays a very attractive now selling RX-8's future hope.

DSC also antiskid brake system also SUPOTSUDORAIBINGU not interfere in exquisite settings, and the attack on the left corner to slide slightly to the rear to allow the intervention of control. But given today's trend, sports mode with three stages of evolution and even better. But more important thing is the change in the running are all important parts of the rich fusion of a sour note harmony. What parts are good even if the whole match depends on how good I do not think scare. I think the RX-8 is a significant change with the rhythm has been very impressive results, to be expected.


"The RX-8 is so much fun car coziness to it," said the scales fell from the eyes again. Mazda is ultimately the same time, "fun" and "気持ちよ" the essence of the sports car ran well know, it極めようsaid with sincerity, and then, I thought again makers should respect.

 

^^^ google translator

 

Cliffs notes ;


This is a bad *** car that we all enjoyed driving

 

I started reading it, and thought, "this seems like a Japanese guy who just learned English is telling me the story, then I realized you used Google Translator. Good enough to know the jist!

 

did i read it correctly, that mazda lowered all the models (except the RS?) to 215hp? that would make sense for 180-185whp.

 

Thanks. Now I have a headache....

 

translator that sense made little bullshit crapola is that what **** the hell.

 

 

I can translate them, Altho my japanese level is pretty crappy

...

Too long, forget it, you all can have fun with Google's version
