Everyone else gave up on the rotary. Mazda did not, and the FD-generation RX-7 is the argument for why that stubbornness was worth something.
The 13B-REW is a twin-rotor Wankel with sequential turbochargers — the small one spooling early, the large one joining above the mid-range — in an engine with almost no reciprocating mass. It revs in a way piston engines cannot imitate and sounds like nothing else on a road. It also asks more of an owner than most engines do, which is part of why surviving examples are treated the way they are.
The body is the other half of the case. Almost devoid of hard lines, all continuous curves and pop-up headlights, it was drawn to be shaped by air rather than by fashion, and it has aged better than nearly anything else from 1992.
Shown in blue, printed matte on 200 gsm archival stock so the surfacing across the wings stays readable rather than lost to glare.
