Mazda RX-8 Differential
The Mazda RX-8 Differential provides the rear-driven sports coupe with its widely recognized balance in cornering, as it applies the correct level of torque to the appropriate wheel, increasing grip and driver confidence. The gear set on the rear axle divides the power such that the inner tire moves slower than the outer one when making a turn, thereby avoiding scrubbing and reducing the drivetrain load, as well as saving tire tread. Production cars that were initially open have an open Differential that ensures the handling remains predictable on dry tarmac, with subsequent Touring, Type S and R3 trims equipped with a limited slip unit having the ability to shunt excess torque to the wheel with traction, enabling the car to rocket out of tight hairpins even when the pavement is dusty or wet. The two versions are similar in having the same robust ring and pinion, and this has become a point of commendation among Mazda owners as it lasts well beyond 100,000 kilometers when the old gear oil is replaced at regular intervals. Because the housing is made of solid cast iron and is low in the chassis, heat dissipates quickly, making the housing more efficient and protecting against fluid foaming. It is compatible with all model years of the RX-8, thus the driver can swap assemblies with 2004, 2008 or 2011 models without elaborate fabrication, and the enthusiast can easily upgrade to enjoy a sharper drive or a more noiseless cruise. The other benefit of this Differential is that, in case of an unexpected loss of grip on one rear wheel, the vehicle is not pulled off course and the antilock brakes and stability programs can take effect in a gentle manner. It can withstand rough use, service needs to be kept to a minimum and it stands out on the road; all these make the Mazda driving community consider it a symbol of the brand, keeping every RX-8 in great shape and illustrating once again that Mazda engineering is based on real-world reliability.
