@TheArhiArhus Thats the idea, it saves fuel for if your on the motorway, get up to speed, bang it into 6th, so it isnt revving its tits off, saves fuel
guyzzz thts not fake i got an rx8 too it makes countinues beep when it touch the red line, though it doesnt have the power like honda s2000 and stuff, but its fun driving
@pwrbytrd the good thing about rotarys is they can rev to 10k+ all day long and nothing will happen to them. the rev limiter was set at 9k on this car due to the transmission input shaft not being able to handle much more than 9k. The motors perfectly fine revving that high. Sure it won't last 200k miles, but n/a rotarys with larger intake ports rev to 13k+ for 30k+ miles and the only reason their breaking is because the block had to be ground down for the larger intake ports.
Seems so. What almost also don´t understand ist that Redlining on a normal engine does not produce more power or whatever. Msot engines have their max. Power at least 700-800 RPMs before the Redline. It´s simply stupid.
it's a good thing because when you shift up the revs drop. revving past max power then shift up will allow the revs to drop closer to max power than if u shift right at max power. if you look at hp dyno sheets of gas engines, the area around max power is like a mountain. the area under the curve is how much work the engine has done. so more area the better, over a given amount of time. think about it.

Cool but kinda lame because he tries to fool you. Switch it back to MPH and quit trying to look cool in this way. Our RX8's don't need this to look even better!
That's like my RX-8...!!! 231cv...!!! This car it's something so easy to drive!!! fast or not!!! the handling it's very, very good...!!! i've donne on my 258km/h without red's... the soud of the engine only says give more and more and more!!!
if you did you might had seen my point was a wiseass one ...
One "round thing" , ( in a rotary engine divided in multiple chambers....) were combustion takes place :D so technically a rotary engine has cylinders.
If you want to take the mathematical term , i'm still right HA :D
@DonAlcohol the chamber in which,. intake, combustion and exhaust cycles happen in a rotary engine - ISNT round nor cylindrical in any way shape or form.
So many people talk alot of shit when they know nothing about rotary engines...
1.Turbo is more efficient on a wankel engine than on a piston engine because there is less turbo lag
2. The renesis engine alongside all other rotary engines were made to be high rev/torque powered... if you have ever owned a rotary you would know that to keep it healthy you MUST red line it occasionally (3-5 times a week) especially in the rx7 series.
I was wondering.......I just heard that the mazda rx8 engine has a significant amount of affeteness...more than a regular car...is that right?...and I also heard that around 70,000km you really have to change a lot to it-I refer to the engine-is that correct too???
yes.. significantly true.. however I must stress there is no real mileage that they give up at.. it doesn't work that way.. there is plenty of rx8's for sale with over 100k milage around with healthy compression..
depending on how it's kept a rotary engine such as the renesis can outlive a piston engine.. however if you are keen on modding it with turbo's etc it dramatically reduces the engines lifespan because the renesis is different to teh 13b-rew. Mazda have a hard time turbocharing the rx8
thats true because thats why they did not put a turbo this time becausing of a heating problem? with the rx7 so they didnt install stock turbo for the rx8?
this is a reply to Dabbzta,,, i own a 2006 rx8 6speed and i agree with you completly,,, the most power i get out of mine is around 8250-8500rpms... and after that you lose power,,,, although i admit i redline mine sometimes ,,,
I don't get why people take there cars into the red and loose power, this gives a slower 0-60 time. True drivers know there cars and now when to change, you can even feel the loss of power at such high rpm.
Spot on. Dont believe him go and look at the torque curve for your engine and find where the peak is. Idea is to change as soon as you hit your peak torque and then try get back there asap. Dumb shits just hear the engine reving and feel like their going fast i guess.
ive spoken to a few ppl about this, they say torque.. F=ma, more torque = more acceleration. Power will get you to a faster SPEED, but wont increase the rate of acceleration if that makes any sense.
Alas, you can't use the F=ma equation in its current form for that firstly, instead, it is right to think of F as torque, M as moment of inertia and a as ANGULAR acceleration (as opposed to linear). What you've said in your post doesn't make much sense. Both torque bands and power bands are both important factors for a car accelerating.
if your engine has higher tq (measured in nm where im from) to hp shift 500 rpm above the peak tq your rpm wont move as fast above it most small engines have more hp to make up for a lack of tq with big cams as well as free flowing parts so they move more air
Btw. A subaru imo is a carjeep with a big wing as of no status only for racing. The interiour is like a standard hatchback from the early 90' s. nuff said ; )
If you dragrace I would chose the subaru, if you just want to be touring i' d go for the mazda. By the way can someone tell me a bit about the oil use of this car ? I read many about it that it want' s to use it very much can someone give me some details (not someone who searches it of the internet but someone who actually owns or drives this car)
any GOOD petroleum based oils, synthetic oil doesnt burn and its stick to the seals in the rotory engine and it will causes seals to break down, then u got a need to rebuild
@deadrick20 You can' t compare this car with a wrx because this car is made for casual to high sports and a wrx is made for rallyracing and has 4wd.
It' s like comparing a tiger with a puma, but be honest. . this car has more style than a wrx, wrx is just made for it' s muscles and looks cheap from the inside. (in my opinion) Plus it costs more. It' s just what you want . . a classy car with fast speed or a warmachine with brutal speed.

My dad owns a rx8 6 speed mazdaspeed j-spec, only 22 made. Its a 2004 model, and it is upgraded and shaped differently then the rest. My dad is #6 and does 0-60 in 2.8 seconds and the quarter in 9.7. Looking forward to putting a video up sometime within 2-3 weeks. =D
LMFAO! Bullshit!!! There are VERY few cars who hit 0-60 in under 3. Not even a GTR hits 60 in under three, not even a S7 hits that (if it does it's like right on it). a 9.7 quarter..lol. You are SO full of it.
I've driven them before and they are slow acceleration wise. I hate forced induction but I think the RX-8 is actually a pretty good candidate for a turbo.
the EASIEST way to desribe is this. rotary engines dont work on your traditional piston cylinders . what it uses is a rotary design. umm.. picture this. if you hold your arm out and hang a hoola hoop from it and start moving your arms to spin the hoola hoop. pretty much works the same. rather than the up and down motion of the traditional piston (most cars have 4-8) rotary engines have a single circular motion. make sence?
i understand the concept, but using twice the amount of gas to spin it is a problem, because now your getting (as recorded) 15-16MPG. which is equal to a V8 producing alot more HP. Then theres another problem, reliability is in question and having seen the low mileage engines replaced (based on fact not opinion) this is a concern. Having to check oil level every 2 gas fill up's makes me feel like a babysitter also. I see the intention, but it has the odds stacked highly against it.
i have an rx-8 and it gets 18-19 city and 24-28 highway. the rotary is a lot more efficient that you think. i understand where you are coming from but until you experience hitting almost 10000 rpms at almost 250 HP in a street car and doing 0 to 60 in less than 6 seconds in a car that only has a 1.3L engine and is less than 30 grand... i think its more of an experience than your average v8. btw this dude has his speedometer in km/h, the lying bastard lol
dont get me wrong, id love to own one, but i see the requirements necessary in order for it to work to its full potential...spinning @ 10RPM's id guess is an experience but so is the rush of a C55 AMG which is clocking the 0-60 time in 4.5sec, with 367 foot pounds of torque at your command which leaves the RX8 facing another issue, the torque? its outclassed in that department nearly by everybody. Once again, i see the intention of the engine layout but its outmatched except for handling.
Did you just compare it to a C55AMG? Isn't that like... A lot more money?
Really the rotary engine shines in races. At the end of the 24 hours of LeMans Mazda said the 4-rotor engine in the 787B could go around for one more race. They tend to be more reliable when pushed to the limit as in racing in opposed to a piston engine.
Problem solved! Buy both E55 and rx8, race the Mazda drive the Mercedes! :D
its six seconds, plus or minus a 1/2 a sec. wrx is a great car but you cant figure out a cars full potential in one test drive... especially when the dealers shit their pants if you go over 5000 rpms
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ok maybe I am nitpicking here, but this guy was redlining this car way over 9000rpm. I believe he was trying to blow something out of the engine block. From a race car driver's point of view, that is a ridiculous way to get the max power out of a car. Squeezing it way past red-line will not get you more power, only a blown engine. And, yes, it was 245kmph (152.2mph) that he was doing. A Lumina SS does 260kmph with ease without having to redline.
Ok, first off, yes, he was reving his car a little high but redline on the rx8 is 9000rpm and it can rev up to about 11000rpm if you wanted to get it reving that high(which would be stupid but its a rotary engine, not a piston engine, it can rev much higher than most cars). 2nd off, he was barely reving it over redline, that was like what 9100rpm if that? redline is 9000rpm on it and with the rotary engine, you dont have to worry as much about getting it a little over as long as its not too much

any GOOD petroleum based oils, synthetic oil doesnt burn and its stick to the seals in the rotory engine and it will causes seals to break down, then u got a need to rebuild

You cant compare either one until you have driven them both. Nuff said

@deadrick20 You can' t compare this car with a wrx because this car is made for casual to high sports and a wrx is made for rallyracing and has 4wd.
It' s like comparing a tiger with a puma, but be honest. . this car has more style than a wrx, wrx is just made for it' s muscles and looks cheap from the inside. (in my opinion) Plus it costs more. It' s just what you want . . a classy car with fast speed or a warmachine with brutal speed.

The wrx does not cost more than a RX8 you moron. And yes you can compare them, and yes it looks ok (not better than a Subaru) but it is slow as shit.

My dad owns a rx8 6 speed mazdaspeed j-spec, only 22 made. Its a 2004 model, and it is upgraded and shaped differently then the rest. My dad is #6 and does 0-60 in 2.8 seconds and the quarter in 9.7. Looking forward to putting a video up sometime within 2-3 weeks. =D

LMFAO! Bullshit!!! There are VERY few cars who hit 0-60 in under 3. Not even a GTR hits 60 in under three, not even a S7 hits that (if it does it's like right on it). a 9.7 quarter..lol. You are SO full of it.

Lol i think he meant 5.8 seconds instead of 2.8seconds since the 2 is right under 5 on the number pad. A big mistake either way.

I hope you meant 5.8 seconds and do the 1/8 mile in 9.7 seconds. Not in a quarter mile. Either way you made 2 big mistakes.

I've driven them before and they are slow acceleration wise. I hate forced induction but I think the RX-8 is actually a pretty good candidate for a turbo.

i dont know much about rx8s or what a "rotary engine" is..can someone please tell me what that engine is??
elberdugo001 3 years ago
the EASIEST way to desribe is this. rotary engines dont work on your traditional piston cylinders . what it uses is a rotary design. umm.. picture this. if you hold your arm out and hang a hoola hoop from it and start moving your arms to spin the hoola hoop. pretty much works the same. rather than the up and down motion of the traditional piston (most cars have 4-8) rotary engines have a single circular motion. make sence?

yeah i got it thanks!!
elberdugo001 3 years ago
i understand the concept, but using twice the amount of gas to spin it is a problem, because now your getting (as recorded) 15-16MPG. which is equal to a V8 producing alot more HP. Then theres another problem, reliability is in question and having seen the low mileage engines replaced (based on fact not opinion) this is a concern. Having to check oil level every 2 gas fill up's makes me feel like a babysitter also. I see the intention, but it has the odds stacked highly against it.

i have an rx-8 and it gets 18-19 city and 24-28 highway. the rotary is a lot more efficient that you think. i understand where you are coming from but until you experience hitting almost 10000 rpms at almost 250 HP in a street car and doing 0 to 60 in less than 6 seconds in a car that only has a 1.3L engine and is less than 30 grand... i think its more of an experience than your average v8. btw this dude has his speedometer in km/h, the lying bastard lol
tonysam11290 3 years ago
dont get me wrong, id love to own one, but i see the requirements necessary in order for it to work to its full potential...spinning @ 10RPM's id guess is an experience but so is the rush of a C55 AMG which is clocking the 0-60 time in 4.5sec, with 367 foot pounds of torque at your command which leaves the RX8 facing another issue, the torque? its outclassed in that department nearly by everybody. Once again, i see the intention of the engine layout but its outmatched except for handling.
DTHPRF66 3 years ago
Did you just compare it to a C55AMG? Isn't that like... A lot more money?
Really the rotary engine shines in races. At the end of the 24 hours of LeMans Mazda said the 4-rotor engine in the 787B could go around for one more race. They tend to be more reliable when pushed to the limit as in racing in opposed to a piston engine.
Problem solved! Buy both E55 and rx8, race the Mazda drive the Mercedes! :D

the rx8 does not do 0-60 in less than 5 seconds, before I bought my wrx I test drove one for a day, The RX8 is pretty damn slow
Deadrick20 3 years ago
its six seconds, plus or minus a 1/2 a sec. wrx is a great car but you cant figure out a cars full potential in one test drive... especially when the dealers shit their pants if you go over 5000 rpms
tonysam11290 3 years ago
instead of cylindrical pistons, the rotary engine is in basics a big triangle that spins around and does twice the work twice as fast

It really depends on what engine you have / its condition / old or new ect... It's really not that bad unless you do it over and over like a retard.

Ok maybe I am nitpicking here, but this guy was redlining this car way over 9000rpm. I believe he was trying to blow something out of the engine block. From a race car driver's point of view, that is a ridiculous way to get the max power out of a car. Squeezing it way past red-line will not get you more power, only a blown engine. And, yes, it was 245kmph (152.2mph) that he was doing. A Lumina SS does 260kmph with ease without having to redline.

Ok, first off, yes, he was reving his car a little high but redline on the rx8 is 9000rpm and it can rev up to about 11000rpm if you wanted to get it reving that high(which would be stupid but its a rotary engine, not a piston engine, it can rev much higher than most cars). 2nd off, he was barely reving it over redline, that was like what 9100rpm if that? redline is 9000rpm on it and with the rotary engine, you dont have to worry as much about getting it a little over as long as its not too much
