Rumor has it, Mazda will debut either a slightly refreshed or special edition version of its RX-8 sports car at this year's 2009 Frankfurt motor show in Germany.
Autocar reports that the Japanese brand's top sporty model will get new aerodynamic bits on all corners, as well other cosmetic components like LED taillights, bigger exhaust tips, and 19-in. dark grey alloys.
Interior designers are said to have worked in new black cloth, standard Recaro seats, a redone instrument cluster, and a nine-speaker Bose audio system. No changes to the current 232-hp rotary engine were rumored to be in the pipeline.
Seeing as the car was just refreshed for the 2009 model year here in the U.S., signs point to the RX-8 reportedly coming to Frankfurt as being some sort special edition model instead of a full refresh of the present model. But if the rumors pan out to be true, we we'll be interested to see what Mazda has in store for the RX-8.
