The Mazda RX-7 is a two-seat sports car manufactured between 1979 and 2002 that is unique primarily due to the choice of engine — rather than the typical piston engine, the RX-7 uses Mazda's rotary (Wankel) engine. The three generations SA22 1979-1985, FC 1986-1992, and FD 1992-2002 have evolved from elemental sportscars with moderate power into high-powered, luxury-trimmed cars still maintaining a light, lithe driving nature.
