Smile New Ad for the RX-8

Just saw the first printed ad for the RX-8 in the latest Sport Compact Car magazine. Just open the cover. It's on the back of the cover and the first page! Can't wait to see what their TV adds look like here in the US. Let the advertising begin!

DTECH-RX,

What does the asterisk refer to next to the HP?

It's not a commercial, it's a print ad, and DTECH has already posted it.

Sorry for the slightly blury text, I had to do some editing and some low resolution scans to get the file down right at or just below the 100K forum limit. Maybe that should be changed to 150K?

Is the engine in that picture to scale with the RX-8? If so, then ... wow! I knew rotaries were small, but that engine is miniscule relative to the car. And it still gets 247 bhp!

Yes, that's the engine size.

You appreciate it more when you look under the hood; you can see how far back they placed it by taking a look at where the oil filter is!

Tried to put the two scans together. Not too good. If you send me two scans we could make a bigger image and put it on some webspace, as well as a PDF for example...
(Like www.norbert-grass.de )

Cheers, good night now, Norberto.

July 2003 issue has inside front cover 4 page advertising

I did a search and didn't notice anything else mentioning this, so here goes...



Hey, I have a subscription to WIRED magazine and to my surprize when I opened it up a couple of days ago ... there it was ... on a black page a RX-8 tach with the headline:

"The Rotary engin spins at 9,000 rpm.."

Then when you flip it open, it reveals the RX-8 (the standard Red RX-8 beauty shot 3/4 view on a wet black and dark blue blacktop) and the headline continues with:

"Your head slightly less."

... Hey has anyone else, seen this around any other Magazines?

I'll be happy to scan mine in (but it might take a few days or more - I'm really busy at work right now...)

After flipping it open. There's supposed to be another page which is mainly this page's background with the "zoom zoom" in the foreground.

FYI, there's a new ad in the latest Sport Compact car. Although it's not for Mazda but for http://www.rayswheels.co.jp And also it's the MazdaSpeed RX-8(?) with a set of wheels from that company.
