What is the top speed for Mazda RX-8?

I’ve heard Mazdas are pretty fast for an economical car and I’ve been thinking about buying a used RX-8. I always like how fast a vehicle can go before I purchase it—just so I know what I’m working with. My question is: what’s the top speed for the Mazda RX-8?

Nothing wrong with knowing your vehicle’s specs inside and out! The top speed for
Mazda RX-8
is 145 miles per hour.
The RX-8 was part of
Mazda’s
vehicle lineup from 2003 to 2012 and is classified as a sports car. It is fitted with a 1.3 liter Wankel rotary engine and is available with a 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed or 6-speed automatic.
Unfortunately, due to falling sales and failure to meet emissions standards in Europe, the RX-8 was discontinued after the 2012 model year.
