i pwn therefore i am
Sweet! I bet this thing will only need oil changes once every 30k miles and won't have any problems at all starting in the cold! It'll probably get 40-50 mpg too! Thank goodness for cutting edge technology!

So it has a different color red paint and has black interior.
This special edition RX-8 comes with the exclusive True Red Style body color that is not available to the other RX-8 models. It also has special features such as black leather interior trim, a black leather-wrapped parking brake lever, a black leather-wrapped steering wheel, and semi-gloss finish chrome lamp bezels, all of which reinforce the strong, sporty image of the RX-8.
Main features of the True Red Style RX-8
Base models
RX-8 'Type S' (with a six-speed manual transmission/6MT) and the RX-8 'Type E' (with a four-speed Activematic automatic transmission/4AT).
Special equipment
- Black leather interior trim (genuine leather seats including the eight-way power driver's seat with power lumbar support and matching door trims).
- Leather-wrapped parking brake lever (black).
- Leather-wrapped steering wheel (the 6MT model comes with the piano black color audio switch panel on the steering wheel).
- Semi-gloss finish chrome bezels for headlights rear combination lamps.
- 18-inch tires and aluminum wheels, combined with large front disc brakes and sport-tuned suspension (special equipment on the 4AT; standard equipment for the 6MT base model).
- Advanced keyless entry and engine start system.
- Water-repellant windshield, front door window glasses and door mirrors.
Body color
A youthful, vital image is conveyed through the vivid crimson True Red exterior paint, which is exclusive to this RX-8 model.
Did I miss anything?
