Ahead of its Tokyo Auto Salon release later today (Friday), Mazda has supplied a teaser shot of its facelift RX-8 RS. Official specs will be released probably this weekend. What we can tell you is that it has a new sportier front fascia, the air intakes are larger, and the front foglights that are incorporated into the grille are no longer round. There’s a splitter at the bottom of the new bumper with flaps that increase airflow to the brakes (and probably assist with stability). The 19-inch wheels and rear spoiler round off the RS version, but most likely won’t make it onto the standard RX-8 facelift.
