Let's play analyze that RX8 picture
Absolute beauty and one of the first google image search results for RX8. First thing that came to mind was what year/trim/bodykit?
![](http://i51.tinypic.com/dow706.jpg)
Some searching on the old internet turned up this:
http://www.aerotrends.com/eMerchantP...idproduct=1408
Which just shows the front of the picture and sorta leads me to believe this picture wasn't really produced by this bodykit company and that they just tried to imitate it and reused the picture.
Can anyone please identify the car in this picture and what spoiler/body kit/rims/etc are being used? I wonder also if this is just a one off car that was made for some need for speed photoshoot.
Thanks guys for any info

yes, mazdaspeed. includes entirely new front end, side skirts, rear, spoiler, wheels, and side mirrors.
however, i think this might have been an original concept/press photo b/c the front end spiller did not make it into production.

Those are actually custom gunmetal Advan Connoisseur 51c (not Mazdaspeed wheels).
![](http://www.z1auto.com/images/advanconn.gif)
All the Mazdaspeed concepts have worn Advan wheels. The second Mazdaspeed concept had Model 5's:

First series 2 Mazdaspeed concept had chrome Model T5's:
