The Mazda RX-8 GT is a racecar built to the Grand-Am GT series regulations. It features a Riley Technologies’ space-frame chassis mated to a normally aspirated 450hp three-rotor 20B engine, with gearbox and differential assemblies mounted to its rear.
Both the front and rear suspension features double wishbone units, while the uprights are equipped with large brake rotors and calipers. The cockpit roll cage is mounted to the chassis, and the outer panels, including the fenders, windshield, hood, trunk lid, headlights, and rear combination lights complete the bodyshell of the RX-8.Fuel is loaded into the car’s fuel tank from the fuel spout located on the rear end panel.

Used to, no more RX cars in the series. I think Daytona was the last entry of one, and they won't be campaigned next year.
