Wanted to treat myself with these snaps before stepping into the new year. Some snapshots of Mazda RX-8.

The rear suicide doors are great!

Antzster, yours was the first thread of this year but after merging the two threads, somehow they got deleted. Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience. They were quite a few replies from Slix, Petrolhead and Sri and some other members who appreciated the model. Anyways, here is a surprise for you.

You can pry open the cover gently to reveal the rotary engine. The cover has two pins in the front end and two extrusions on the back side which plug into the fire wall.

Hohohohoho, Winston bhai, you are amazing. You seriously made my day special. Was wondering how could AutoArt let go off what's under the hood. Whew!!!! lovely... And BTW, the yellow one looks voluptuous than the one I possess...

Damn! I can't recall what I'd written earlier.
Anyhow, congrats again on your first AUTOart.

Great car the Mazda RX-8 is and that metallic grey color suits it quite nicely.
Love the suicide doors. So, upload some closer pics of them if possible.

Nice pick and wish you great additions through out the year. The engine details is indeed a surprise, Winston.

Ok I recall what I had written, I said and I quote " This is the Problem with current Generation cars, they come with this plastic engine cover which covers all the components of the car." I unquote. However I did not knew that the top cover can be removed as in the real car to reveal the engine details. The car at first was a write off but now looking at the detail and pictures this is actually growing on me

Nifty little RX8 there, and I had no idea about the removable engine cover. Congratulations!

I had said something about how unique this car is in so many ways.The suicide doors,Wankel rotary engine and the three-sided rotor inspired design elements all over make this car quite special.Great pick!!
