Confirmed, 08 40th Anniversary Model for US
The Mazda RX-8 redefined the sports car segment when it was launched in summer 2003, and it continues to shake up the automotive world’s definition of what a sports car can be. With an exterior suggesting athletic tension, a unique twin-rotor RENESIS rotary engine and an interior offering comfort and practicality, the 2008 Mazda RX-8 continues to be a cutting-edge sports car, as well as the only mass-produced rotary-powered car in the world.
RX-8’s unique, athletically sculpted styling features freestyle doors and enough passenger room for four adults. Powered by either a 212-hp engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission or 232-hp engine with a six-speed manual transmission, RX-8 is equipped with power windows, mirrors and door locks, cruise control and a six-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system. The 2008 RX-8 is priced from $26,435.
New or enhanced for 2008:
To help celebrate the 40 th Anniversary of Mazda’s rotary engine, Mazda will offer a limited-edition 40 th Anniversary RX-8. Available in early 2008, the 40 th Anniversary RX-8 will feature a special Metropolitan Gray exterior/Cosmo Red leather interior color scheme, unique 18-inch alloy wheels, suspension enhancements, fog lamps, silver engine cover and special badging.

I was looking for the source of this information so I went to Mazda's News site and here it is (if it was already posted, sorry for being blind).

Sounds interesting. I wonder how the car looks with the new paint and leather interior.

Like 2-3 shades isn't enough? silver engine cover, wow...awesome. :ugh: How about throwing in some carbon fiber or something? They did such a better job with the FD special editions, what the heck happened to the people who came up with those? (Bathurst R, R1, etc etc) :P

could have atleast throw in some complementary mazdaspeed parts, intake, exhaust strut bar....atleast it would add something not so ordinary to it.
if they really wanted to add a special color they should have did a copper orange, or that metalic/pearl black color thats in europe...
