The Mazda RX-8 has made a significant impact in its market sector since it was first launched back in 2003. More than 16,300 have been delivered to UK customers in its first three years and it has won prestigious awards like What Car’s ‘Best Coupe 2006’. To keep the model fresh and to keep sales ticking over, Mazda have launched their first special edition of the RX-8 called Evolve. This is the same name as the original concept car first seen at the Detroit Motor Show in 2000. Mazda have limited the number of Evolve models available in the UK to only 500, making this RX-8 fairly exclusive and unique.
Four-door coupes are pretty thin on the ground, the term practically reading like a contradiction, but this one has been carefully thought out. The rear-hinged back doors create a pillarless profile and despite their truncated dimensions, allow easy entry and egress to and from the rear pair of seats. It’s an idea that Rolls-Royce adopted for their Phantom and it works very well.
