Mazda was looking to produce a replacement for their RX3 model and began production of their new sports car in 1978 making it available as a 1979 model year. The Mazda RX-7 (also called the Savanna and Efini RX-7) was built to be affordable and fun, similar to the Datsun and Nissan 280Z. Featuring many great sport features such as its unique twin-rotor rotary engine situated slightly behind the front axle, rear wheel drive layout, near 50/50 weight distribution and... its sleek sporty front-midship, this vehicle was not only well received by the media but the consumers alike. With its new twin-rotor design, this engine produced 100 hp and was able to top speeds of 120 mph. This was such a smooth running engine that a buzzer was installed to the tachometer to give its driver a warning when pushing 7,000 rpm! GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1983 Mazda RX-7 Limited Edition for your consideration. The Burgundy exterior reveals its age with minor fading here and there but overall presents well. The burgundy interior shows some age as well but is overall neat and tidy. The car has been owned by the current owner for the last 16 years. Highlights include the 12A engine with a 5 speed manual transmission, power mirrors, graphic equalizer, cruise control, rear spoiler, owner's manual, air conditioning, power brakes, moonroof. This RX-7 is on track to becoming one of the next collector cars as many of its competition in that time has seen drastic price increases over the recent years.
