This stunning 2008 Mazda RX-8 “40th Anniversary Edition” is one of only 1,000 built and has 1,870 original miles. Yes, only 1,870 original miles! This RX-8 is truly one of the best known examples to exist. This Japanese automobile was produced from 2003 to 2012. The model year 2008 saw the introduction of a limited edition to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Mazda’s rotary engine. It had 10-spoke, 18-inch diameter alloy wheels of a new design that were later incorporated in the model year 2009 facelift. Also added were blue-light front fog lamps, a 40th Anniversary badge on each front wing and an aerodynamic rear spoiler. Exclusive sport-tuned suspension with Bilstein dampers were added along with enhanced urethane foam injected front cross member intended to improve steering feel. The 40TH Anniversary limited editions were slightly different in the various international markets. As the original window sticker indicates this RX-8 was shipped to Community Mazda located in Oak Forest, IL. It was ordered as a 2008 Mazda RX-8 “40th Anniversary Edition” with a Metropolitan Gray Mica exterior and a Cosmo Red interior. The optional equipment included the following options: cargo net, fender strakes trim, rear wing spoiler, appearance package (front air dam, side aero flares and rear aero flares) and rotary accent package (polished front rotary accent and polished rear rotary accent). The total MSRP was $ 33,924.00. The original window sticker has been laminated and is included. As the clean Car Fax report indicates this RX-8 was sold on February 24th, 2009 to the first owner who lived in Chicago Heights, IL. The original owner kept the car for 11 years before selling it on August 31st, 2020 to the second owner who lived in Lutz, FL. The Car Fax report documents the mileage throughout the years. As an example, it had 1,250 miles in 2013, 1,570 miles in 2020 and 1,624 in 2021. MS CLASSIC CARS purchased the car indirectly from the second owner on November 2nd, 2021. The Car Fax report, original owner’s manuals, front license plate bracket and touch up paint are included. The exterior of this RX-8 is in excellent overall condition. The Metropolitan Gray Mica color complements the body design very nicely. It retains all of its factory original paint which was electronically tested by MS CLASSIC CARS. The paint meter testing can be seen in the video provided by MS CLASSIC CARS. The paint does have a couple of very small imperfections which also can be seen in the video. The paint was recently detailed to a brilliant shine and looks amazing. It retains the entire original factory stamped glass which is in excellent condition. Some factory exterior standard features includes a power moonroof, dual heated mirrors, xenon HID headlights, blue tinted fog lamps, free style doors, rear window defogger, rear glass radio antenna and 40th Anniversary Edition Rotary engine emblems. It has a great stance on 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels that are virtually flawless. The wheels are wrapped with its original Bridgestone Potenza RE040 225-45-18 tires. The exterior color complemented with a Cosmo Red interior which looks beautiful. The like new interior is very spacious and comfortable. Some factory standard features includes overhead console, air conditioning, power windows and door locks, leather trimmed seats, 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, center console, leather wrapped shift knob, 300 watt Bose system with 9 speakers and 40th Anniversary Edition floor mats. The trunk compartment is very clean and equipped with a cargo net. The engine compartment is highly detailed throughout. It retains all of its original factory tags and paint marks. There are no signs of oxidation or deterioration. This RX-8 is powered by its original 1.3L Rotary engine which is factory rated with 232HP. The engine is dressed with a silver colored engine cover that is easily removable. The battery is located under the engine cover and has a power cut off knob for storage. This engine runs and sounds sweet exiting the dual chrome tailpipes. The engine is coupled to a 6-speed manual transmission that shifts very smoothly. The power is transferred through the Tochigi Fuji limited slip differential. The undercarriage is very clean throughout. It also retains all of its original factory tags and paint marks. Some of the factory mechanical features include direct drive electronically assisted steering, front and rear stabilizer bars, independent front double-wishbone rear multi-link suspension, sport tuned suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers, urethane foam-injected front suspension cross member and power assisted 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes. This RX-8 is truly one of the best known examples to exist and surely a future collectable. This is a great opportunity!
