Few Japanese performance cars have achieved the legendary status of the FD-generation Mazda RX-7. Introduced for the 1993 model year, the RX-7 showcased Mazda’s relentless pursuit of lightweight performance, pairing a compact chassis with the world’s first mass-produced sequential twin-turbocharged rotary engine. This 1993 Mazda RX-7 Twin Turbo shows just 37,822 miles and is finished in highly desirable Silver Stone Metallic over a black interior. Unlike many FD RX-7s that have been heavily modified throughout their lives, this example retains a remarkably factory-correct appearance, making it especially appealing to collectors and enthusiasts alike. With its iconic pop-up headlights, timeless styling, and one of the most unique powerplants ever fitted to a production car, this RX-7 represents an increasingly rare opportunity to own one of Japan’s most celebrated sports cars.

That’s why examples such as this fine third-generation 1993 Mazda RX-7 will easily find homes. This car is up for sale in El Paso with just 32,000 miles on the clock, and could be your ticket to smooth-spinning nirvana.

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.
