Well, keep in mind its UK only, so the price only went from to £21,400 to £25,747. So, don't think of it as a $48k RX-8 (or about $20k over US retail), but a performance package costing an extra £4k (or about $7.5k US).

Yeah, its still a bit much for suspension and wheels (and a few other shiny bits), but it does have the exclusivity.
