For fans of the Wankel engine, Mazda is releasing a limited-run RX-8, on the 40th anniversary of the company's technology.Only 400 Mazda RX-8 40th Anniversary Limited Edition models will be heading for the UK.
The sports coupe is available in two special body colours, with a unique wheel design and special 40th Anniversary badging.
The Limited Edition is based on a special concept car first presented at the Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this year.
Enhancing the Limited Edition's look of sporty sophistication are bespoke 10-spoke, 18-inch diameter alloy wheels, an aerodynamic rear wing, new blue-light front fog lamps and a 40th Anniversary badge on each front wing.
