It is in fact neither. It is a rotary type of engine, there is nothing v about it.
For all I know, for the RX8, about 1k or 10k of them were made a V6. All though if I remember correctley, one of Mazda's cars were not even produced with a rotary engine and I think it was called the Comet.
Technically, no. But that's only because the Mazda Rx-8 uses a rotary engine, not piston technology. Therefore you can't classify it as a V6. They've still got a decent amount of power, but it's tough to compare rotary and inline engines side by side; the principle is different.
The 2013 Mazda CX-9 has a V6 engine.
The 2010 Mazda CX-9 has a V6 engine.
The 2011 Mazda CX-9 has a V6 engine.
