The Mazda RX-7 stands out as the poster child for Felix Wankel’s unconventional rotary engine. With no pistons, and rotary motion directly being generated by internal combustion, the Wankel offered unmatched smoothness, and surprisingly potent power generation for low displacements. However, this ground-breaking engine was known to be low on torque, and struggled to meet emissions regulations, hence why we don’t see Wankel-engined vehicles anymore. Mazda championed the Wankel for the longest period, with many RX sports cars, the most renowned being the RX-7 and RX-8. This 1984 Mazda RX-7 is thus a fine piece of automotive history, and bears a healthy 135,000 miles on the clock. Check it out!
Wearing an eye-catching red paintwork, this 1984 Mazda RX-7 is a late first-generation car. The first generation RX-7’s design was the work of Matsaburo Maeda, and his 1976 design has aged very well. It’s a pert little car, at just 168.7 inches long and 65.9 inches wide. A two-door body with a glass liftback, it’s reminiscent of cars such as the Pontiac Trans Am and Chevrolet Camaro of the time in some ways. Pop-up headlamps, twin exhaust tips, black protective molding and a set of period alloys cap off the design. The interior is in dark gray, with a sporty three-spoke steering wheel and seating accommodations for two, with a luggage area directly behind, and covered by the glass liftback. There’s also a ventilation system and a modern Pioneer head unit with CD and USB functionality to bring your tunes into the 21st century. A digital quartz clock in a circular binnacle caps off the interior accoutrements.
This 1984 Mazda RX-7 is powered by a tiny twin rotor Wankel engine that displaces just 1.2L, but is able to output 100hp to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic gearbox. Because of the smoothness of the Wankel engine, drivers could inadvertently rev the engine beyond the redline, since there was no rev limiter on account of this being a carbureted engine. Therefore, Mazda fitted a warning buzzer that sounds near the 7,000rpm redline. This must be heeded if the engine is to be kept healthy and happy. Handling was also notable, as the RX-7 came with 4-link suspension, and a 50-50 weight distribution.
The Mazda RX-7 is the most well-known rotary engined car on the planet. Introduced by Mazda in 1978, this quirky little car was best known for its smooth Wankel engine. We’ll save you the technical details because if you’re looking at this listing with gusto, you likely already know about the Wankel, what makes it special, and how to take care of it. This particular 1993 Mazda RX-7 comes with all maintenance up to date, and has been modified at Peter Farrells Autosports. Plus, it’s got under 70,000 miles on the clock.
When Mazda released the RX-7 to the world in 1978, it was one of a mere handful of cars that would use the Wankel rotary engine. Renowned for its unmatched smoothness and high-rev abilities, the rotary engine didn't find favor in many cars due to its maintenance requirements and comparatively higher emissions. Those who have driven a rotary-engined car will tell you that the experience is like no other since rotary motion is generated from the start of the combustion process. Why not check out the rotary engine experience with this 1987 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II that's currently up for sale? The car has just 46,580 miles and has received some new maintenance items to ease your worries.
When Mazda introduced the first ever Mazda RX-7, a 2-door coupe utilizing a rotary engine. This same car would become the ancestor of the much-revered 1990s-produced Mazda RX-7 FD3S. The first generation of RX-7s was produced from 1978 to 1985 and featured three somewhat distinct models, or Series as Mazda called it. Series 1 was produced from 1978 to 198, Series 2 from 1981 to 1983, and Series 3 from 1984 to 1985. Up for grabs is a 1985 Mazda RX-7 GS Series 3 with just 120,500 genuine miles on the odometer and looking in topping condition.
