The Mazda RX-8 is the final breed of rotary machines that one could find on the streets today. Although the rotary does come with its own issues, this iconic power plant is still adored by a huge part of the auto community, especially for the level of performance it offers through a small package. And if some of you are thinking of owning this rare specimen, you could actually do so as Bermaz Motor has brought six units of the limited-run RX-8 Spirit R.
Originally intended to be only 1,000 of them, the overwhelming response that surrounds this Spirit R had prompted Mazda to produce another 1,000 units for the performance car lovers and also rotary enthusiasts. Among the six units brought in, two of them are fitted with the 6-speed manual transmission.
Since this is a limited-run model, one might think that it might bear a price tag that goes off the roof; not exactly. In fact, the Spirit R actually costs just the same as the standard RX-8. The manual is priced at RM226,699 while the automatic is RM236,699, and comes with full manufacturer’s warranty and also after sales support.
If you are looking forward in getting one, better do so quick as one unit has already been sold. You could place your order by visiting your nearest Bermaz showroom or calling Mazda through their Zoom-Zoom line at 1-800-22-8080.
