Most spacecraft travel to Mars by an eliptical transfer orbit called a Hohmann Transfer. This normally takes 8 months one-way, and can only be done once every 2 years from Earth. This is not the quickest way to Mars, but it is by far the cheapest, so this is the one used most often.
If you had lots of money and energy, then quicker journeys are certainly possible. In the future ion propulsion engines (already in use on some satellites, e.g. GOCE) could be used to theoretically drop journey times to 40 days.
eight month
About 250 days, but I haven't checked the exact number. (I guess you mean the Mars Exploration Rover mission.)
It would take about 7 months to get to Mars
Building the Curiosity Mars rover took about a decade, with its development beginning in the early 2000s. The rover was officially announced in 2004, and after extensive design, testing, and assembly phases, it was completed in 2011. Curiosity was then launched in November 2011 and successfully landed on Mars in August 2012.
"Curiosity" was launched on November 26, 2011 .

As the Mars rover would be on the planet for a long time it would have to use solar energy alone to move around.
Curiosity, NASA's Mars rover, was launched on November 26, 2011, and it landed on Mars on August 6, 2012. The journey from Earth to Mars took approximately 253 days for the rover to reach its destination and successfully land in the Gale Crater.
