Our Take:
- The 1993 Mazda RX-7 is part of the third generation of RX-7s (FD series), known for its sleek, timeless design and rotary engine — a staple in Mazda's lineup. This particular model originally boasted a 1.3-liter rotary engine, which was unique due to its compact size and high-revving capabilities, making it a true enthusiast's car.
- This RX-7 has had an interesting transformation; it's been swapped with an LS6 5.7L V8, a powertrain favored by many for its reliability and substantial horsepower output — in this case, around 400HP. Such a swap can be a double-edged sword among purists, but it undeniably provides more robust torque and a different driving character.
- With original paint and a left-hand drive (LHD) layout, this RX-7 retains some of its authentic appeal. LHD RX-7s can be more sought after in regions where right-hand drive models are more common, adding a layer of exclusivity.
- The seller notes the car's modern upgrades, like Megan coilovers for improved handling and performance, and a Monster twin disk clutch, highlighting its readiness for aggressive driving styles. While it lacks comforts like power steering and a radio, these omissions might be excused for the purist who values performance above all else. The absence of these features is a nod to the car's track-ready intentions and the seller’s focus on performance upgrades.
