Information
The Mazda RX-7 is a front/mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive, rotary engine-powered sports car that was manufactured and marketed by Mazda from 1978 to 2002 across three generations, all of which made use of a compact, lightweight Wankel rotary engine. The third generation was known as the FD. The ɛ̃fini Type R model was the lightweight sports version of the FD.

Its engine, the 13B-REW, was the first-ever mass-produced sequential twin-turbocharger system to be exported from Japan.
