- Launched in Japan by the short-lived ɛ̃fini brand in 1991, Mazda’s third-generation RX-7 (called “FD” internally) was praised by enthusiasts and journalists as a significant improvement over its predecessor. Its more fluid lines aligned it with the design trends of the 1990s, and the Wankel rotary gave it Porsche-like performance without the price tag. The FD saw numerous updates throughout its lifespan, and final-version Series 8 models such as this one received updates such as facelifted bumpers, a 4-level adjustable rear spoiler, and increased output from its sequential twin-turbocharged rotary engine.
- Power comes from a 13B-REW 1.3-liter sequential twin-turbocharged twin-rotor rotary engine, rated at about 276 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque. Output is directed to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission.
