The 2011 Mazda RX-8 has yet to be crash tested

DESIGN:The RX-8 carries on with only minor changes to the exterior. The bumpers, headlights, and taillights are new. R3 models get a more aggressive front fascia, side sills, a rear spoiler, and larger wheels. Inside, we find a redesigned instrument panel center stack as well as a variable redline based upon the engine operating temperature.

The Grand Touring package adds a limited-slip rear differential, fog lamps, automatic xenon headlights, rain-sensing wipers, heated side mirrors, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, automatic climate control, keyless ignition and entry, heated front seats, an eight-way power driver seat with memory, leather upholstery, a sunroof, Bluetooth, and a 9-speaker Bose surround-sound system with a 6-CD change and satellite radio. The only option, a touchscreen navigation system with voice commands, is available for the GT only.
