STORY

The RX-7 is Mazda's rotary-powered sports car, produced across three generations from 1978 to 2002. It progressed from the lightweight naturally aspirated first generation to the turbocharged FC, culminating in the twin-turbo 13B-REW FD, a benchmark 1990s sports car celebrated for its balance and compact rotary engine.
