2005 Mazda RX-8 Black Cherry "SHINKA" with a six-speed manual transmission, equipped with a 238-horsepower engine that spins to 9000 rpm. This is an amazing, super-clean car, runs beautifully and I hate to have to sell it. New coils and starter. No issues with it other than it just is no longer practical for us to own. Less than 350 made.

From Mazda: "To further enhance driving performance and ride comfort, this RX-8 "SHINKA" features a uniquely tuned suspension system, upgraded from the standard car. The system offers a foam urethane filled front suspension cross member and specially tuned dampers, while achieving improved body rigidity through reinforcing the top-front portion of the A-pillars and improving the stability of the rear damper mounting points.

The distinctiveness of the RX-8 "SHINKA" extends to both the exterior and interior appointments of the vehicle. The car was offered only in a rich Black Cherry body color offset by a soft Parchment Tan leather interior. Among the exclusive exterior enhancements are semi-gloss bezels for the headlamps and rear combination lamps, as well as dark-silver gloss aluminum wheels. Also standard on the RX-8 "SHINKA" is a 300-watt Bose® sound system with in-dash six-disc CD changer. While many Mazda vehicles are pre-wired for SIRIUS® satellite radio, "SHINKA" models will be the first to be equipped as standard, as all cars will include a one-year subscription to SIRIUS."
