MAZDA'S revolutionary Renesis rotary engine, which powers the exciting Mazda RX-8 sports coupe, has won the trophy for best engine in the 2.5-litre to 3-litre category at this year's international Engine of the Year Awards.
This is Renesis' fourth trophy in the world's most coveted engine awards contest. Last year Renesis won Best New Engine, best in the 2.5-litre to 3-litre Category and was named overall winner as International Engine of the Year, on its way to setting a new record by receiving 44 of a possible 50 votes.
Jeff Guyton, Vice Presidnet Finance and Systems, CFO, Mazda Motor Europe was on hand to accept the award at the Engine Expo 2004 in Stuttgart, Germany. "After last year's achievement, I am truly honoured to be able to accept a fourth trophy for Mazda RX-8's Renesis rotary engine," said Mr Guyton.
"On behalf of all of us at Mazda, I would like to thank the organisers for this award and, of course, the journalists who voted for us in this category. This fourth award confirms the fact that Mazda's long history of rotary engine expertise has paid off, not only for us, but for customers around the world."
The International Engine of the Year Award is widely recognised as the Oscars for engines and is presented yearly by UK and International Press Automotive Magazines.
