Mazda has upgraded its iconoclastic sports car, the RX-8, but not for the US – at least not yet.

The four-door, four-place rotary screamer is receiving a new six-speed automatic in mid-October, and a new six-port rotary (the current North American model has four ports) reportedly improves intake efficiency.

Other incremental changes include a couple of new paint hues (“Stormy Blue Mica” and “Crystal White Pearl Mica”). Additionally, the car is available with a new “Sand Beige Leather Package” on certain models.

No word yet on whether these upgrades will make it to North America.

Hey David

This is old news

In Canada we allways had the six-port rotary mine is (I know I opened it :wink:)
The 8 also has the VDI system with the 2 rotating valve for the 6 port the engine called the 13B-MSP Hi power 6 injectors (4primary 2 secondary's) the auto does not have the MSP extention in it's description and only has 4 injectors (2 primary 2 secondary's)

6 speed auto I duno?

Blue Mica is already here since 2004
Crystal White pearl mica since 2005
since 2005 also a Montego Green
2006 Prune "yenco"
