Which RX8?

Hi all...I used to own a 2005 model...I think it was the lower powered 4 port one...it had 5 forward gears. My question is how can I tell for sure which model it is...I am thinking of buying another...how can the 4 or 6 port be definitely identified?
thanks a lot.

If North America, the 4-port only came in 2004-2005 automatics. Everything else is 6-port.
In other regions it's more of a mixed bag, but a 4-port will not have the 6-port's 9000rpm redline.

Thanks a lot for that info...I am thinking of buying a 2007 6 speed...what should I look for regarding engine condition? I think she has done about 60,000 km. Do they suffer from things like oil leaks and oil deposits in the tail pipe like piston engined cars?

Right this way: https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-f...t-here-202454/

They're not like piston cars, but they're not voodoo either
