About the Mazda RX-7 FD
The third-generation RX-7 introduced Mazda's flowing FD shape and a sequentially turbocharged 13B-REW rotary. Its compact engine sits behind the front axle, contributing to balanced handling and a low nose. The US-market 1994 manual Turbo quoted here combines 255 hp with an 8,000-rpm redline. As with any rotary-powered collector car, servicing history and evidence of proper maintenance matter.
