Mazda RX-7
The Mazda RX-7 is a sports car produced by the Japanese automaker
Mazda 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 coup¨¦. The
compact and light-weight Wankel engine or rotary
engine is situated slightly behind the front axle,
a configuration marketed by Mazda as "front mid-engine".
It was offered in America as a two-seat coup¨¦, with optional "occasional" rear-seats in Japan,
Australia, 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.
