Awesome pics, i like it... thanks!

 

the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice...hahaha

 

I love the color.

 

Damn guy, I have been waiting for pics of this thing for a while, way to go.

Looks haut

 

We dont need a pretty cherry blossom RX8 with sparkles we need more POWER.
This car will do nothing to enforce the image of the RX8 IMHO , other than being a ladies mode of save transport .

cheers
michael

 

 

and just where were those pics taken, Bern? if Job one just started? that looks like sunny Cali to me.

 

It sure looks like it eh? Folks have been hearing the rumors for a bit, but we wanted to bring you all the pics!

Cheers,

rumours? we had the press release on here months ago where you been?:D of course we really didnt have pics then so thanks for those!! that parchment leather looks great, and the black cherry is awesome

 

I likey! :D
But I think if the seats were a 2 tone tan and black that they might match the rest of the black interior beter. Do like a reverse of the current color options. Have the tan as the main color, and black as the inserts.

 

Thankfully Michael, we won't ever see this thing in Australia......

Gomez.

 

Agreed i believe this Shinko version of the RX8 was made for the members of the US TV Show "QUEER EYES FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY " LOL

cheers

It will almost certainly suffer reduced resale value, unlike a lot of "Special Editions"...

 

I love the exterior color, but not the interior... looks way too monotone to me.

 

I thought this was posted ages ago?
Nonetheless, still a sweet colour combo.

 

I believe it was, but these are the best pictures of it I've seen so far.

 

I agree, you can really see the "Ribena-like" colour of the paint.

 

Wow...how much? That color is amazing! I might be willing to trade my baby in for that...

 

Mazda Motor Corporation announces the release of the RX-8 "Sport Prestige Limited" special edition. Featuring various enhancements both in looks and in performance, this model goes on sale today at Mazda and Mazda Anfini dealerships throughout Japan.


Mazda RX-8 Type S 'Sport Prestige Limited' (six-speed manual transmission model)

Based on the theme "noticeable quality for appearance and performance," the RX-8 'Sport Prestige Limited' indicates an evolution of the RX-8, featuring not only handsome exclusive parts for both exterior and interior, but also enhanced driving performance.

The interior reveals the beige-colored special equipment, such as the beige leather seats trimmed with double stitches--the driver's seat equipped with electric-powered eight-way adjustments and lumbar support--and door trims matched with the seat color. The color-stitched black leather is applied to the steering wheel, parking brake lever and front/rear console box lids, while semi-gloss parts are used to highlight the meter rings, air-conditioner dials, air bent bezel rings and other areas.

Among the exclusive exterior parts are semi-gloss bezels for the headlamps and rear combination lamps, dark-silver gloss aluminum wheels, rear lip spoiler and front fog lamps to create a quality look and feel. The body color lineup includes the elegant and exclusive color "Radiant Ebony Mica."

To further enhance the driving performance and ride comfort, the RX-8 Sport Prestige Limited features the special-tuned suspension system, including the front suspension cross member filled with foamed urethane and special-tuned dampers, and improved body rigidity achieved by reinforcing the front-top portion of the A-pillars and improving the stability of the rear damper mounting points.

The manufacturer's suggested retail price of the RX-8 Sport Prestige Limited is 3,150,000 yen including the sales tax for the Japanese market.

I'd be drooling for that color interior if I had a white or black 8. Ok Maybe just black.

 

THREE hyperboles in one phrase, typical JDM y0!!!1

 

AKA, 2005 Mazda RX-8 Shinka Special Edition

 

sounds like just a lot of flashy add-ons that will drive the price up.

though I do like the beige interior.

 

Really? Ugh...black is best for interior.
