The Mazda RX-8 SE3P Type-S is a refined version of the RX-8, designed to offer a balance between everyday usability and sporty performance. Positioned above the base model, the Type-S features aesthetic upgrades, improved suspension components, and subtle interior enhancements that enhance the driving experience while maintaining the RX-8’s signature rotary character. Its design retains the clean, flowing lines of the coupe, with minor styling cues that distinguish it from the standard model, giving it a slightly more aggressive stance.

Power comes from the 1.3-liter RENESIS rotary engine, producing around 232 horsepower at 8,500 rpm. While the engine’s torque is modest, peaking at 159 lb-ft at 5,500 rpm, its high-revving nature delivers a lively and engaging driving experience. The engine’s smooth power delivery and responsive throttle make the Type-S rewarding to drive, particularly on twisty roads, where maintaining momentum through corners highlights the car’s nimble handling.

The Type-S features a sport-tuned suspension with Bilstein dampers and stiffer springs, lowering the car slightly and improving handling precision. Braking is enhanced with larger ventilated discs and upgraded pads, providing better stopping performance under spirited driving conditions. The steering remains sharp and communicative, giving the driver a connected feel to the road, while the near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution ensures balanced cornering and stability.

Inside, the Type-S offers sportier seats with better bolstering, along with subtle interior trim upgrades that improve both comfort and aesthetics. The cabin remains driver-focused, keeping controls intuitive and within easy reach, reinforcing the car’s emphasis on the driving experience rather than luxury. Overall ergonomics and visibility make it suitable for daily use, while still feeling engaging on spirited drives.

The RX-8 SE3P Type-S strikes a careful balance between performance and practicality. It retains the lightweight, agile character of the original RX-8 while adding refinements that enhance driving confidence and comfort. Its high-revving rotary engine, responsive chassis, and precise handling make it a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking an engaging sports coupe that can be enjoyed both on the road and on occasional track days.
