General Description

By the time that 1985 rolled around, the RX-7 (known as the Savanna in the Japanese market) had been on general sale for 7 years and sold some 471,000 units during that time. The model was Mazda’s first attempt at a sports car and would go on to become the best-selling rotary-powered car of all time.

Offered as either a 2-door coupe or 2-door convertible, the second generation of RX-7 or ‘FC’ focused on appealing to the U.S market as this is where the majority of sales had been for Mazda during the first generation’s production run.

The result was a move towards more of a sports tourer setup which led to a softer suspension thanks to Mazda’s Dynamic Tracking Suspension System (DTSS) that had been inspired by the Porsche 928, and much improved handling that limited oversteer thanks to a new rack and pinion system. Disc brakes were also now standard across all variants and turbo-charging was introduced for the first time, bringing the car to a more than respectable 0-62mph sprint of circa 6 seconds and a top-speed of 149mph. During the 7 years of production, Mazda's rotary sports car yet again proved a hit with just over 272,000 units finding homes. 

About this specific vehicle

This particular RX-7 was first registered in Japan on the 1st May 1991 and therefore benefits from being a late production car, resulting in being fitted with all the updates form the Series 5 facelift which includes the more powerful engine rated at 215PS.
