Series 6 (1992 to 1996)

Introduced in 1992, the Mazda RX-7 Series 6 marked the launch of the third-generation FD and set a new benchmark for Japanese performance cars, combining lightweight construction with advanced turbocharging and sharp, aerodynamic styling. Series 6 RX-7s were powered by the twin-turbocharged 1.3-litre 13B rotary, producing around 255 hp, paired primarily with a 5-speed manual transmission, with an automatic offered in far smaller numbers. Compared to later updates, Series 6 cars are known for their raw driving character, simpler electronics, and early twin-turbo setup, making them particularly appealing to purists. Estimated production for Series 6 models is approximately 25,000–28,000 units worldwide, forming the largest share of FD RX-7 output. In the Australian market, Series 6 RX-7s were officially sold, and today values are driven by manual gearboxes, originality, low kilometres, and rotary health, with clean, lightly modified examples increasingly sought after as early FD cars become harder to find.
