Mazda RX-8 to Star in Twentieth Century Fox's X-Men Sequel

Mazda Motor Corporation will team up with Twentieth Century Fox to produce the film "X-MEN2," which will premiere in both Japan and America in May 2003. "X-MEN2" is the sequel to Twentieth Century Fox's box office hit "X-MEN," released in 2000. The "RX-8" will appear in the film as Cyclops' "X-Car." Mazda and Twentieth Century Fox are working together to develop promotions to support the release.

"While the RX-8 is a genuine sports car, it also delivers the functionality of a 4 door, 4 seater. Embodying unprecedented value, it really is a 'sports car like no other.' Expect great things at next year's launch," said Masazumi Wakayama, Executive Officer, General Manager, Domestic Marketing Div.

The RX-8 is Mazda's new sports car model equipped with an all-new rotary engine, and is due to be launched in Japan next spring.

So will it have ruby windows?

the rx8 is such a disapointment....4 doors, 4 seats, 158ft-lbs of torque...sigh, i thought the renisis had so much more potential. maybe it will save itself if it can get some aftermarket support. oh well

I dont think the rx-8 is a dissapointment at all. besides the fact that it looks great, the 4 door idea is very clever. And seating for 4 adults? Thats awesome for a car with this much power and speed. So far there hasn't been one single bad review, and if enough excitment is gained for the car you just might see a new rx-7 in 2005. The rx-7 will me smaller, a 2 seater, bigger renisis output, and more aggresive styling and price.
