RX-8 is a car produced by Mazda Motor Corporation that was first introduced in Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 2.

Description[]

Despite the unique "freestyle" doors, the RX-8 has a near 50:50 front-rear weight balance, due to the engine mounting position. Thanks to the good balancing, the car feels light on the road.

Reviews[]

The Mazda RX-8 is one of the most popular cars in the Wangan Midnight series. It combines an average top speed with extremely high handling, which is the reason why many players go for this car. The main drawback is that the acceleration can be low on Gear 2 and 3 (with some users describing them as "abysmal"), which is most noticeable when racing in venue crown races. Despite this major drawback, its handling is amazing enough to make up the time lost for accelerating, evident from its time trials records. Its performance is somewhat similar to the RX-7 FD3S, albeit with different gear numbers. Despite its average blocking ability and boost, many brake-blockers uses this car.

Colors[]

The player can choose from the following colors:

  • Winning blue metallic
  • Titanium gray metallic II
  • Snow flake white pearl mica
  • Lightning yellow
  • Velocity red mica
  • Brilliant black
