Useful Information of Mazda RX-7
The Mazda RX-7 is a sports car by the Japanese automaker Mazda. It was produced from 1978 to 2002. The original RX-7 featured a 1146 cc twin-rotor Wankel rotary engine and a sporty front-midship, rear-wheel drive layout. The RX-7 was a direct replacement for the RX-3 (both were sold in Japan as the Savanna) and subsequently replaced all other Mazda rotary cars with the exception of the Cosmo.
The original RX-7 was a sports coupé. The compact and light-weight Wankel engine (rotary engine) is situated slightly behind the front axle, a configuration marketed by Mazda as “front mid-engine”. It was offered as a two-seat coupé, with optional “occasional” rear-seats in Japan, Australia, the US, and other parts of the world. The “occasional” rear-seats were initially marketed as a dealer installed option for the North American markets.
The RX-7 made Car and Driver magazine’s Ten Best list five times. In total, 811,634 RX-7s were produced.
