At first glimpse, there is no doubt this is an RX-8 sports car, but a host of exterior modifications create an even more aggressive-somewhat feline-appearance. In front, an extended air intake and a low-projecting lip spoiler yield improved cooling and optimum lift balance, respectively. Low-slung silhouette side skirts, aerodynamic side view mirrors and carbon-finished B-pillar garnishes cut air resistance and carry the sleek look rearward. An adjustable rear wing and rear under-spoiler create downforce in the tail.
