Mazda is offering consumers its RX-8 four-seater, four-door sports coupe with zero per cent finance until the end of the year.

The automaker has commented that the model accounts for 20 per cent of the sports cars sold in Britain, earning the right for the firm to call itself Britain’s most treasured brand in the field.

In addition to the offer, the manufacturer is also giving away a Sport Pack which would normally set drivers back £350.

Silver alloys, aerodynamic side skirts and body-side graphics are all included in the set.

Mazda attributed a number of factors to the success of the vehicle.

"[A] unique blend of high-performance rotary engine power, perfect 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, rear-wheel drive, sports car dynamics and generous interior space, the Mazda RX-8 has helped boost Mazda sports car sales to record levels," the company commented.

Last month Mazda launched its Mazda2 range of five-door hatchbacks.
