RX 7 (1979 to 2002)

The Mazda RX-7 is a two-seat sports car produced from 1979 to 2002, defined by its unconventional use of Mazda’s rotary (Wankel) engine instead of a traditional piston setup. Across its three generations—SA/FB (1979–1985), FC (1986–1992), and FD (1992–2002)—the RX-7 evolved from a lightweight, minimalist sports car into a far more powerful and technologically advanced performance coupe, while still retaining its trademark balance and driver-focused character. Each generation pushed the rotary concept further, culminating in the twin-turbocharged FD, now regarded as one of Japan’s most iconic performance cars. In the Australian market, all three generations were officially sold and have long enjoyed strong enthusiast support, with values today driven by generation, originality, rotary health, and factory specification, as clean, unmodified RX-7s become increasingly rare and collectible.
