1993 Mazda RX-7

One of the most legendary Japanese sports cars, the Mazda RX-7 is the one that truly dared to be different. While almost other cars have piston-engined powerplants, the RX-7 employs the rotary design pioneered by Felix Wankel several decades ago. Rotary engines are notably harder to maintain, but if done right, deliver smooth and powerful performance, as well as a distinctive soundtrack that is much-loved by aficianados. Also, they can rev pretty high, well over 8,000rpm in some cases. That’s why whenever an RX-7 like this 39,188-mile 1999 Mazda RX-7 comes on sale, they get snapped up quickly. This car resides in Tomball, Texas and comes with the legendary 13B-REW twin-turbo twin-rotor engine, a 5-speed manual box, a RE-Super G full widebody kit, and more.

Japan in the 90s was a proper time to be a petrolhead; each manufacturer was pumping out some serious machinery. Mazda was on a mission to showcase that you don't need a whole lot of cubic capacity to deliver serious performance. The key general leading this mission? The legendary Mazda Rx-7. A look at the marketplace for Mazda RX-7s reveals multiple options with varying price tags; the higher end is reserved for the rare birds that often get tucked away in collectors' most prized collections. Present today is this JDM 1992 Mazda RX-7 Type RZ ɛ̃fini. With one of just 352 Type RZ models, this is a true jewel of the Rx-7 world. The fun doesn't stop there; the current owner reports just under 23,000 documented original miles on its clock, with a grocery list of tasteful upgrades and a parts list to make it a real performance weapon at your local race track.

The Mazda RX-7 holds the distinction of being the most mass-produced rotary-engined passenger car in history! Yes, there have been other mass-produced rotaries, such as the NSU RO80 and Mazda’s own RX-8, but none ever managed to match the sheer numbers of RX-7 production. How much is that exactly? Over 811,000 examples over three generations! Today’s 1987 Mazda RX-7 GXL is a nice second-generation example from Lake Barrington, Illinois and could be yours! It’s done just 63,000 miles and comes with a naturally aspirated example of that famous 13B twin-rotor powerplant.
