Because RX stands for Rotary Experiment. Its a experiment number 8.
The Mazda RX-8 is a rotary engine, it has no cylinders. The Mazda RX-8 has a single TWO-rotor engine. Cylinders are only for piston engines. The RX-8 is a 1.3 Liter Rotary. (No I4 or V6) Just Rotary.
Not all of the Mazdas have had the rotary engine, but only the RX model
The ROTARY engine is the best engine that Mazda made. It is still in use in the RX 8s
no, the ONLY cars with rotary engines have RX in there name.
The RX stands for Rotary eXperiment. As you may know, the Mazda RX series of vehicles are not powered by conventional piston engines like 99% of all other vehicles on the road. Instead, they are powered by a rotary engine, also known as a Wankel engine.
A rotary engine. Used mostly in Mazda cars like the RX-7.

The Rotary Engine, used by Mazda in production cars such as the RX-7
A rx-8 is a rotary powered sports car made by mazda. they are the successor of the rx-7. the rotary engine is the only internal combustion engine that does not have any pistons. it is 1.3 liter, but 250+ hp i do believe. it revs very high, but has good torque and is all around a good car. you will be surprised when you see a rotary then feel the power.
No. It is, however, a reciprocating 4 cylinder, water-cooled 4-cycle (Otto cycle - spark ignition) piston motor. From the 1980's, the Mazda rotary (nee Wankel) engine has only been available in the RX- series (RX : Rotary Experimental). There currently exists a JDM rotary engine hybrid Mazda5 model, leased in very small numbers for research purposes.
The Mazda RX-8 is equipped with a unique rotary engine known as the Renesis engine, which is a variation of the Wankel rotary engine. If you're considering replacing the engine in an RX-8, you would typically look for another Renesis engine, as it is specifically designed for that model. However, some enthusiasts may opt for aftermarket rotary engines or even conversions to different engine types, but these modifications can significantly alter the vehicle's performance and characteristics.
The firing order for the 1979 Mazda RX-7, which is equipped with a rotary engine, is 1-2. In a rotary engine, the sequence refers to the order in which the rotor faces ignite, with the engine firing from the leading edge of one rotor to the trailing edge of another. This unique firing order is crucial for the engine's smooth operation and performance.
