Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010)[]
The RX-8 appears in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) as a Sports Series racer vehicle, and as an SCPD Traffic Police unit.
The racer vehicle is unlocked upon the player earning a total of 5,000 racer bounty. The SCPD unit is unlocked upon the player earning a total of 10,000 cop bounty.
It is possibly the fastest car in the Sports Series whilst at the same time being the best handling car in both the Sports and Traffic Police Series. It possesses good acceleration, agility, excellent drifting capability, and extremely powerful nitrous. It isn't as durable as other Sports Series cars and thus is most useful in races.
It can be selected with either an Aurora Blue Mica, Velocity Red Mica, Sparkling Black Mica, or a Liquid Silver Metallic body paint colour.
Description
“Rotary Revolution”
The RX-8 was launched in 2003 and has sold over 160,000 units worldwide. So far this car has won more than 50 global awards including many 'Car of the Year' awards in 2003 and 2004. With a refreshed look and an improved performance the latest RX-8 is still as stylish and fresh as it was when first launched.
The Mazda RX-8's most unique feature has to be the RENESIS (Rotary Engine genesis) engine which generates an incredible 232 bhp from a comparatively small naturally aspirated 1.3 litres. Redlining at 9000 rpm and with a very smooth power delivery this light engine succeeds in creating an exciting driving experience.
The five spoke wheel design features a shape which can be traced to the triangular rotor shape of its engine. Rear hinged doors show innovation in allowing passengers to easily access the rear seats while retaining an overall sports car size and shape.
