How Many X-Men Mutants Fit into a Mazda RX-8?
Wolverines X-Men Ride Rocks
Have you seen the new X-Men movie yet? If you did Im sure you were wildly entertained. X2 is an action-packed, on the edge of your seat kind of movie. The special effects were superb, and the sound effects only enhanced the movie-going experience.
The highlight of the movie for me was when Professor Xs school for the gifted was under siege. Wolverine, Rogue, Pyro, and Iceman were running from the bad guys. They were trekking through the underground passages when they came to a room full of ostentatious vehicles. My jaw dropped, its a given, Im an automotive journalist! So in a room full of cars, and Wolverine being the only legal driver, which car would he choose? He headed straight for the new, somewhat modified Mazda RX-8. All four of the characters piled in and were speedily on their way.
The RX-8 wore a soft metallic blue colour, with a reworked front grille, modified air vents and a well endowed spoiler on its rear decklid. There were killer rims, and the engine had a sexy kind of purr to it (most likely enhanced by sound technicians). Although its cameo appearance lasted less than two minutes, it was a great two minutes. The interior looked as though 4 people could fit comfortably, and the young X-Men put the stereo system to a test (it blasted NSYNC). But I am sure we wont see this specific RX-8 hit the streets because it was equipped with X-Men gadgets, including an X-Men cell phone.
Mazda did a good job getting their sassy sports car into a movie full of mutants. I would have liked to see more of the RX-8 but the huge X-Men aircraft/jet was taking the most of the limelight.
The standard RX-8 features a 250-hp rotary engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission or an optional automatic with manual shifting mode, which downgrades the engine output to 210-hp. The base price will be $25,180 when it goes on sale in June.
