Mazda RX-8 Type RS
Series: Tomica Limited Vintage
Model: LV-N314a

The Mazda RX-8 made its debut in 2003 as a successor to the iconic RX-7, continuing the brand's legacy of rotary engine performance. Unlike traditional piston engines, the RX-8’s Wankel rotary engine offered unique advantages, such as a higher-revving nature and a compact design that allowed for a more balanced, lightweight vehicle.

The RX-8 was lauded for its sharp handling, sleek design, and four-door configuration, which gave it a rare combination of sports car performance and practicality. Throughout its production run, the RX-8 underwent several updates, with the 2011 Type RS being one of its final variants before production ended in 2012. 

The 2011 Mazda RX-8 Type RS is a thrilling, driver-focused sports car that enhances the already impressive RX-8 formula. Featuring a 1.3-liter rotary engine with 232 horsepower, the Type RS is optimized for precision handling, with a sport-tuned suspension and a limited-slip rear differential. It also benefits from lightweight elements, such as a reduced interior weight and the removal of unnecessary features to improve driving performance. With its low stance, aggressive styling, and responsive handling, the RX-8 Type RS remains a standout for enthusiasts who appreciate its unique engine and engaging driving experience.
