Mazda held a traditional sending off ceremony yesterday for its first shipment of vehicles to leave its headquarters in Hiroshima, Japan in the new year. This is done at the beginning of every year and all the big execs come out to watch new vehicles like the Mazda2 and CX-7 get loaded onto a shipping vessel and whisked away to markets abroad. Rotarynews.com, however, noticed something particularly interesting in the photos of the event that Mazda released. Decorated in balloons and streamers is a Mazda RX-8 Convertible, a version of the RX-8 that doesn't technically exist and which we've never seen before. Its duties appear to be parade-like in nature, slowly transporting two execs around a parking lot who are seen standing up on the back seat and holding onto a crossbar. It's probably just a one-off vehicle that was made for occasions like this, but at least you now know that an RX-8 Convertible does exist and that it can be done.

From the picture, it looks like 2-door only RX8.

In any case, the 8 will definitely look better with its top down.

littletonysg

Swerve76

Not maybe lor....its definately.

I once saw this video on youtube with this FD RX7 with a 20B in it. 1007 BHP lor. It took just 400m of road for it to go from 0km/h to 260km/h.

It showed a closeup of the speedometer and it cleared one end to the other end faster than my car can rev up to 9200 rpm lor. It was insane.

Rumboo

eh, no leh, my car can rev to 9200rpm very fast (in neutral gear)..

But only useful for scaring the cat which sleeps under my parked car.
