can anybody tell me if the RX8 as standard is turbocharged or not just to settle an argument with a mate cheers
i think its not
1997 Fiat Punto GT Abarth - being restored
2014 Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake
its not and there slow...
mid 15sec quarter is the best ive seen...
they do a 198bhp unit and a 238bhp unit, both are n/a.
the 238bhp one goes quite well, i dabbled one a while ago, about the same performance as a sebbed gt, he couldnt pull away from me all the way to 130
although they do rev very high with a 9k rev limiter but you really have to rev them high to get any sort of power, they lack torque. very nice cars though, they look stunning in that blue colour. at a cost of £22k for the 240bhp+ one its a bit of a bargain!

vrey heavy and slow... look good and killer doors but SLOW.
top spec one got left for dead by my GT. was funny
Gotta admit getting 230bhp from a 1300cc is impressive, but the fuel economy of them is shitter than a GT IIRC. They do a supercharger kit for them though
the new RX8? 1300cc 240+bhp rottary enigne? ive heard a lot about 'em, supposely they're as fast as the M3??:
what about the other models, are they all the same 1300cc engine?
Seen Mazda's mini-site for it? Quite informative:

No turbo
They are not supposed to be super fast, RX7 is for that.
agreed mate the RX7's is an animal
