MAZDA RX-7

 Hello all, car lovers. Today we're talking about a monster car
that many JDM lovers are addicted to. The Mazda RX-7, which has been featured in many movies, has become the dream car of many people. The Mazda RX-7 is the sports car produced by Japanese vehicle manufacturer Mazda between 1978 and 2002. The RX-7 replaced the RX-3 in the market and was replaced by the RX-8 in 2003. Wankel engine was used in its production and less than 1,000,000 were produced.



The RX-7 is a two-door sports coupe. The design of the vehicle, which was sold only with this body type, was so far ahead of its time that the model managed to remain in the market for 11 years. The RX-7's infrastructure was borrowed from Mazda's F platform, exclusive to rear-wheel-drive sports cars. 




The unit under the hood, coded 13B-REW, had the title of being the first serial production inline twin-turbo engine exported from Japan. The engine, which produced 255 hp between 1992 and 1995, was able to increase these values ​​to 265 hp (1996 - 1998) and 280 hp (1999 - 2002) over time. The transmission options offered were 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic.




Just behind the front axle of the RX-7 is the dual-rotor, 1.3-liter Wankel engine with 255 horsepower and 294 Nm torque. Although these values ​​seem like the engine powers you can have even in a mid-segment car today, it was quite competitive in a sports car class in the early nineties.

With a weight of just over 1.3 tons, the RX-7 was quite enough for a daily use sports car you could have in those days, with a maximum speed of 251 km / h and a 0-100 speed in 5.1 seconds. (and the sound of this powerful engine on the road is truly relaxing. Even though it is hard to describe in writing, it looks just like this vuuuuuuuuuuutuutssssssss) and I came to the end of my blog, thank you for reading, have a nice trip.
