Here’s one of those sports cars whose charm is all out of proportion to its numbers. The Mazda RX-8′s pony-keg-size twin-rotor Wankel engine spins smoothly but makes just 238 horsepower and 159 pound-feet of torque when paired with a six-speed stick (197 and 164 with a four-speed automatic), so it needs six to seven seconds to reach 60 mph, depending on how badly one abuses the clutch. Those stats don’t make for very good barroom bragging, but bolted into a short 2950-pound body, this mighty-mite motor makes pure magic.

The engine’s small size allows it to fit behind the front axle, so the weight distribution skews slightly rearward once the driver buckles up. A supple control-arm-front and multilink-rear suspension takes full advantage of that ideal distribution to deliver crisp, neutral handling at the limit of adhesion (which is respectably high, at 0.91 g). More [...]
