Historical vehicle description

The Mazda RX-7, factory-designated as the FD3S, is a motoring icon produced by the Japanese company Mazda from 1992 to 2002. The '96 version belonged to the third generation, which featured a lightweight construction, advanced aerodynamics, and a unique 13B-REW Wankel rotary engine. This car was used in motorsports such as Super GT and touge racing, and also became popular in drifting and the car culture scene worldwide, including in Japan, the United States, and Europe. To this day, it is regarded as one of Mazda's most important models—a symbol of the 1990s and the era of Japanese dominance in the sports coupe segment.
