Japanese Designation
The Eunos 800 was a luxury car from Mazda's Eunos marque in Japan. Sold only from 1993 through 1998, the Eunos 800 exported as the Xedos 9 and used the Mazda T platform. It was also sold as a Eunos 800 in Australia, as both the 800M, with the Miller Cycle engine and the base 800, with the 2.5 litre engine. Both engines are slightly derated compared to the Japanese spec engines, probably to handle the inferior fuels available in Australia.
Engines:
- 2.5 L KL-ZE V6
- 2.25 L KJ-ZEM V6 (Miller cycle)

Famous quotes containing the words japanese and/or designation:
“I am a lantern—
My head a moon
Of Japanese paper, my gold beaten skin
Infinitely delicate and infinitely expensive.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
“In a period of a people’s life that bears the designation “transitional,” the task of a thinking individual, of a sincere citizen of his country, is to go forward, despite the dirt and difficulty of the path, to go forward without losing from view even for a moment those fundamental ideals on which the entire existence of the society to which he belongs is built.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
