The third and last generation RX-7, FD (with FD3S JDM JM1FD and for the USA VIN), was a pure and simple, without compromise sports car by Japanese standards. It contained an aerodynamic, futuristic-looking design (a testament to their nearly 11 years of life). The GER-13, was the first mass production of dual sequential turbocharger system of export from Japan, boosting power to 255 hp (188 kW, 252 hp) in 1993 and, finally, 280 hp (206 kW, 276 HP ) by the time production ended in Japan in 2002.
* Series 6 (1992-1995) was exported throughout the world and had the highest sales. In Japan, Mazda sold the RX-7 through its brand Efini as Efini the RX-7. Models in Japan include the type I, the upper range of the RZ type, the type of RB, the A of the specifications and Touring X, which only came with a 4-speed automatic reducing power to 255 ps, but others ran at the 265ps engine with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Only the 1993-1995 model years were sold in the U.S. and Canada. Series 6 came with 255 hp (188 kW, 252 hp) and 294 N m (217 ft lbf). In the United Kingdom only 124 examples of this model were sold through the official network of Mazda, a single spectrum. was available and this included two oil coolers, electric sunroof, cruise control and rear storage at the place of the rear seats.
* Series 7 (1996-1998) included minor changes to the car. The updates include a simplified vacuum routing manifold and a 16-bit ECU allowing a greater impetus to offset an extra 10 hp (7 kW). In Japan, the Series 7 RX-7 is marketed under the Mazda brand. Series 7 is also sold in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Series 7 RX-7 occurred only in the right wheel configuration.
* Series 8 (January 1999 - August 2002) was the last series and was only available in Japanese market. More efficient turbochargers were installed, while improved intercooling and radiator cooling has been made possible by a revised frontal area. The seats, steering wheel, front and rear lights were changed. The rear spoiler was modified and adjusted gained. The top of the line "Type RS" came equipped with a Bilstein suspension and 17 "wheels as standard equipment, and weight reduction to 1280 kg (2822 lbs). Power 280 hp (206 kW, 276 hp) with 313 8 N m (231 ft lbf) of torque according to the Japanese ceiling. The limited edition version includes rate RZ all the features of the RS, but at a lower weight (kg in 1270). Also included custom metal arms colored BBS wheels and a custom item racing red interior. Other improvements include a new 16-bit ECU and ABS system upgrades. The improved ABS braking system work differently on each wheel, allowing the best car turning during braking. The actual result for safer driving for the average purchaser. Easily the most collectible of all the RX-7 was the last performance of 1500 deals. Dubbed the "Spirit R", which combines all the "extra" features Mazda had used on previous limited special management. still command amazing prices on the Japanese used car scene years later. Sticker prices when 3,998,000 yen were type A and B and 3398 000 yen for Type-C.
- There are three types of "Spirit R": "Type A", "Type B", and "Type C". "Type A" has a 5-speed manual transmission, and said that the best performance of the three models. "Type B" is a 2 +2 seating configuration and also sports a 5-speed manual transmission. The "C" is also a 2 +2, but has a 4-speed automatic transmission. Clarification of the number of each type of breakdown is requested Mazda has not publicly released production figures.
There is also a "tourism model" that includes a sunroof, and Bose stereo system. Compared to the R1 and R2 are not both a moon roof and a front oil cooler in front, race and other equipment modification
The FD RX-7 was Motor Trend Import \ Domestic Car of the Year. When Playboy magazine first reviewed the FD RX-7 in 1993, tested in the same case that the [then] the new Dodge Viper. In this issue, Playboy declared the RX-7 to be the best of both cars. He won Playboy's Car of the Year for 1993. The FD RX-7 also made Car and Driver magazine of Ten Best list for 1993 and 1995 for each year that are sold in the state. June, 2007 Road & Track magazine proclaimed "ace up its sleeve is the Mazda RX-7, a car once touted as the purest sports car more exciting world.
The dual sequential turbo system is very complex piece of engineering, developed with the aid of Hitachi and previously used in national Cosmo series (JC Cosmo = 90-95). The system consists of two small turbochargers, one to provide torque at low RPM. 2nd unit on standby until the upper half of the range of full speed during acceleration. The first turbocharger provided 10 psi (69 kPa) of boost from 1800 rpm, and the 2nd turbocharger was activated at 4000 rpm and 10 psi. The process of transition, between 3500 rpm and 4000 rpm, provided 8 psi (55 kPa), was incredibly smooth, and provided linear acceleration and a broad torque curve throughout the rev range.
Handling in the FD was regarded as world class and is still considered one of the best handling and best balanced cars of all time. Continued use of the first midship engine and drivetrain layout, combined with a 50:50 first rear weight distribution and low center of gravity made the FD a very competent car at the limits.
In North America, three models were offered, the base, tourism, and the R models. Tourism had an FD sunroof, leather seats, and a complex system of sound waves of Bose. The R (R1 in 1993 and R2 in 1994-95) models include stiffer suspensions, an aerodynamics package, leather seats, and Z-rated tires.
Australia has a special high performance version of the RX-7 in 1995, called the RX-7 SP. This model was developed as a homologated road-going version of the car factory used in the 12hr endurance races held in Bathurst, New South Wales, from 1991 to 1995 being held in Eastern Creek, Sydney, New South Wales. An initial deadline of 25 were made and, later, 10 were built by Mazda due to demand. The RX-7 SP produced 204 kW (274 hp) and 357 N m (263 ft lbf) of torque, compared to 176 kW (236 hp) and 294 N m (217 ft lbf) of the standard version. Other changes include a nose cone race developed a carbon fiber rear spoiler and a 120 L carbon fiber fuel tank (as opposed to the 76 L tank in the car), a ratio of 4.3:1-differential rear wheels 17 in diameter, larger brake rotors and tweezers. The improved exchange of escape, and modify ECU were also included. Weight was significantly reduced with the help of more carbon fiber, including the use lightweight ventilated hood Recaro seats to reduce weight of just 1218 kg (1310 kg). This is a serious road going race cars that match their rival Porsche 911 RS CS for the final year Mazda officially entered. The formula paid off when the RX-7 SP won the title with the winner of Mazda 12hr trophy for the fourth consecutive year. A later special version, the Bathurst R, was launched in 2001 to commemorate this, only in Japan.
