They were the first to place the performance benefits of the rotary engine to work in a mass-produced vehicle, and today the RENESIS rotary engine located in the RX-8 has actually taken the title of International Engine of the Year for 2003.

As a sponsor of racetracks and a series based on the Mazda Miata (also known as the Mazda MX5 Miata), the brand's sturdy ties to racing don't come as a very large shock. Success has actually been built on the standing of cars like the Mazda RX7 as well as subsequent Mazda RX8, as well as Mazdaspeed versions of the Mazda MX-5 Miata, Mazda3, and Mazda6. In spite of being reasonable on horsepower, the RX-7 as well as RX-8 have actually gathered praise for their high-revving rotary engines, as well as the turbocharged Mazdaspeed3, Mazdaspeed Miata, as well as Mazdaspeed6 have actually been commonly viewed as performance bargains.
