They are Japanese. Japanese version have had 250HP since 04. The new one seems to have less, but maybe more effective still.

Not power upgrades, but it does have two more oil injectors, a new OMP, oil pan, and bigger oil coolers.

Yes, that's true, I was only talking about differences relating to the engine.

Read somewhere that the new rx8 is regular gas compatible, but with lowered performance.

I was just talking to my friend in Japan and he said "the car is handles like a dream and total balance of the car is great”

Also he said “it sucks that the power has dropped to 235ps”
But he said that the car goes well than the previous rx-8 because of the diff and the final gear.
