A performance-focused limited-run version of the iconic rotary engined sports car. Power comes from the 1.3-litre 13B-REW twin-turbocharged double rotary engine, producing 205kW / 276bhp, and driving the rear wheels through an engaging five-speed manual gearbox. This RX-7 Type RZ was imported from Japan and re-registered in 2022. It has now been with the seller in Sydney, New South Wales, for around a year. The odometer indicates 127,630 km. Only around 300 examples of the FD-generation Series 8 RX-7 Type RZ were built, all of which featured Snow White Pearl Mica paintwork, Recaro bucket seats, Bilstein suspension and 17-inch aluminium BBS wheels, which reduced the weight by 10kg, improving acceleration and handling. This example is reported to be entirely unmodified, riding on the correct ‘Gun Metallic’ finished 17-inch BBS Y-spoke aluminium wheels, which house vented brake discs with Mazda branded callipers, and are shod with Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RS tyres in fitments 235/45/R17 front and 255/40/R17 rear. The cabin features air conditioning, a CD stereo, a metal passenger foot plate, a knee pad on the driver’s side of the centre console, a rear storage box, and red stitching on the three-spoke Nardi Torino steering wheel, gear knob gaiter and parking brake lever. Accompanying the vehicle will be the original Japanese language owner’s manuals, three keys, a spare wheel and evidence of a comprehensive service history. Its resprayed paintwork is reported to be in excellent condition, with minor blemishes visible on the front bumper and around the pop-up headlamps, as well as on the rear light cluster and boot lid. Inside, there are minor blemishes on the seats, dashboard and centre console plastics, though the cabin presents in very good overall condition. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. Its most recent service was in November 2022, by technicians at VIS Rotary in Narellan, New South Wales. This Mazda RX-7 Series 8 Type RZ is a performance-focused limited-run variant of the iconic rotary engined sports car, featuring Snow White Pearl Mica paintwork, Recaro bucket seats, Bilstein suspension and 17-inch aluminium BBS wheels. Understood to be one of only around 300 examples built, it was recently imported to Australia from Japan, and is now ready to be enjoyed out on the open road.
