Gateway Classic Cars is proud to offer this third-generation Mazda RX-7 FD, one of the most iconic Japanese sports cars ever built. It is a genuine US manufacture import. Produced during the golden era of 1990s performance cars, the 1994 FD RX-7 combines lightweight engineering, futuristic styling, and Mazda's legendary rotary engine into a machine that still commands attention decades later.
At the heart of the 1994 RX-7 is the 13B-REW, a 1.3-liter twin-rotor rotary engine paired with a sequential twin-turbocharger. One of the RX-7's defining traits is its sequential twin-turbo setup, with a smaller turbocharger operating at lower RPMs for quick response and a larger secondary turbo activating higher in the rev range for stronger top-end power.
This vehicle features FP Spec Ohlins coilovers, a complete suspension, brake, and intercooler overhaul.
The RX-7 has built a reputation for being both beloved and demanding. Rotary engines require specialized maintenance and careful tuning. The FD model is known for issues related to heat management, vacuum lines, and apex seal wear if neglected. However, owners and enthusiasts often argue that a properly maintained rotary can be reliable and uniquely rewarding to drive.
More than just a sports car, the 1994 Mazda RX-7 Twin Turbo represents a period when Japanese manufacturers pushed engineering creativity to its limits. Its rotary soundtrack, lightweight chassis, and unmistakable styling continue to make the FD RX-7 one of the most celebrated driver's cars ever produced.
