The pearl of engineering. The Mazda RX-7 is a sports coupe with a unique two-rotor Wankel-type rotor engine. The compact, lightweight, low-centered rotor motor is assembled just behind the front axle (aka the front mid-engine), driven by the rear wheels and has an ideal 50-50 weight distribution. It’s an uncompromising sports car, and the front mid-engine composition has made the car one of the best-managed cars of all time. The RX-7 has a great, aerodynamic design with a long front end - even today this car doesn’t look outdated and remains one of the most charming coupes ever made. It was a serious top-class sports car capable of competing with road cars such as the Porsche 911 RS CS. The 13B-REW was the first series-produced rotary engine with a series of two turbines. The most powerful Type RS variant develops 280 hp (206 kW) of torque and 313 Nm of torque, has Bilstein shock absorbers, 17 "rims and a reduced weight of up to 1280 kg. Power is limited by a known agreement between Japanese car manufacturers and cannot exceed 280 hp. Consistent twin-turbine The RX-7 is a great example of engineering, consisting of two small turbochargers, the first designed to deliver torque at low revs, the second at higher revs, and the RX-7 is very popular with drag and drift enthusiasts. RX-7 reaches 450 hp (336 kW) - Youichi Imamura won the D1 Grand Prix drift championship with the RX-7 in 2003. The car has participated in and won various races around the world and is well known even to video game lovers.
