Mazda RX 7

The Mazda RX-7 is a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive rotary engine powered sports car manufactured and marketed by Mazda from 1978–2002 across three generations—all noted for using a compact, lightweight Wankel rotary engine. The first generation of the RX-7 was offered as two-passenger hatchback and as a 2+2 hatchback with “occasional” rear seats in some markets. The second generation was offered in a 2+2 hatchback as well as a two-door convertible body style.

The third generation of the RX-7 was offered as a 2+2 hatchback and was noted for its engine’s sequential twin-turbochargers. The RX-7 made Car and Driver magazine’s Ten Best list five times and more than 800,000 were manufactured over its lifetime.
