The first Rx-7
started out on April 24th 1979. It had a 12A rotary engine under the
hood. The Rx-7 was a four seated car in Japan but when it came to
America it was changed to a two seated car. Mazda only planned to give the
U.S. 1,500-2,000 cars. But it ended up as 3,000. Soon the
demand for Rx-7s skyrocketed, in just 1979 the demand was as high as
54,853 cars. The Rx-7 started out as a four-speed car but Mazda gave
it a 13B engine and it had become a 5-speed car. In 1986 the Rx-7's
body was redone and it became more comfortable and had more size in it. In 1987
Mazda introduced the Turbo II model and the Rx-7 became the most popular
sports car in America. |
