RX-8 Spirit R
Jamboree Trophy Winner 2025
Are you ready to own a piece of rotary history? This is not just any run of the mill RX-8; it is the Spirit R. The final edition of the last production rotary engined sports car, presented in a condition that borders on time-capsule quality.
One of the final Spirit R examples ever made and one of only approximately 10 in Australia. This is your chance to secure a truly exclusive piece of rotary history. The mileage on the car is exceptionally low, currently at 115167 original kilometres. The car was imported to Australia in late 2024.
Condition
This Spirit R has the original factory protective plastics and barcodes which remain intact in various areas of the interior/exterior - a testament to its meticulously cared-for life. Its engine has always been fed top-tier Idemitsu 10W-30 Rotary Premix from its day of purchase in Japan and since it arrived in Australia.
* Original 13B-MSP Renesis Engine: The heart of this beast remains original and unmolested. It is in excellent, healthy condition, with compression tested upon arrival. The car has travelled less than 2000km on Australian Soil. All mechanical aspects carefully maintained by Sydney's most experienced Rotary Specialist.
Original Head Unit included in sale, a new, apple/android compatible has been installed.
Features
The Spirit R commanded a premium when new, featuring sought-after factory enhancements:
* Exclusive Spirit R exhaust system with factory Spirit R tune
* Exclusive Spirit R Recaro bucket seats.
* Unique Spirit R badging and interior trim.
* Original 19-inch bronze forged aluminum wheels.
* Bilstein dampers and upgraded brake system.
This is a unique opportunity for the enthusiast, collector, or astute investor.
Cars in this degree of original, untouched condition seldom come to market, especially with such low mileage and desirable provenance.
Inspection by appointment.
