Looks like a bunch were added a few days ago to Mazda's Swiss Media site:

p.s. You'll need broadband and an image resize tool...

I believe Mazda picked the Red as the RX-8 signiture color, so that is all you are going to get to see for a while. It is one of only a couple of colors that are supposed to be an exclusive RX-8 forumulation. I don't remember which other colors are specific to the RX-8. At least I think I read or heard that somewhere. Based on some of the pictures I have seen I am not even sure the pre-production models had the same red the production cars will. The production cars seem deeper and/or darker but that may just be the lighting.
Thanks!!! :) Those are some awsome high res photos!! Mostly Red but I love the Red!! I may have to make some more desktop pictures with some of these!! :cool:
