It is Black for sure....

I think so a Type S (since a bigger rotor than normal 8 or Type E), with MS kit and MS mag wheel. No wing - very interesting.

It looks very odd without the MS wing.

Titanium Grey II??

If that's true and that's what it looks like, I'm pissed :b
I wanted a color close to black but not black which is why I like the TI so much. That color is gorgeous but it looks like black to me.

EDIT: Honestly, after a closer look, that looks like nordic green!

The first pic makes it look like the dark blue as shown below, just in different lighting.

Below is Strato Blue Mica

Matsuda exhibits Tokyo automatic salon (January 14th -16 at day Makuhari ・<ャ・実opening), ' RX-8 Matsuda speed version '. As for RX-8 Matsuda speed version, the special model to which Matsuda speed evolved RX-8.

In the exterior black adopting the aero part which was standardized to keynote. Also the wheel has installed 18 inch aluminum of Matsuda speed make.

It adjusts to the adoption of the lightweight flywheel, by the fact that the balance taking around the eccentric shaft is done, the engine tuning which shows the sharp response is administered. Private body reinforcement and suspension tuning are done to in addition to, also improvement of handling is assured.

With the interior adding the engine start button to the instrument panel. It has made the cockpit which raises sport mind the carbon pitch panel is adopted for the power window switch base e.g., from.

It is the model which actualizes degree of completion and the balance where only the complete car of Matsuda speed is high with the quality control which it is thorough."

While looking to buy my car, I searched the inventory on the Mazda USA website at quite a few dealers. I found another color listed, but with no matches. It seems to be listed for only some zip codes, and not at all times. The "Exterior:" box has all the available colors, and sometimes includes Black Cherry. I've never found a match. (Black Cherry Mica is a Miata color, but this is not mica, and is in the search window for the RX-8.) ???

THank you

I have read through the Japanese... but there is nothing new.

I wonder if there is a chance that their PCM will work on non-Japan spec RX-8 though :o... They will never release that I am sure
