The Mazda RX-7 (FD3S) (Series 6) (also known as Ẽfini RX-7) is a rotary engine powered sports car, which was produced from 1992 to 2002. It succeeded the Mazda RX-7 FC and consisted of the Series 6 (1992 to 1995), Series 7 (1996 to 1998), and Series 8 (1999 to 2002) model generations.
The Series 6 was the most successful car in terms of sales, as it was exported worldwide. In some countries such as Germany, the Series 6 was the only model to be exported due to new emission regulations.
The Series 7 featured minor engine changes and was only sold in right-hand drive.
The Series 8 was updated with a new body kit, spoiler, tail lights, and upgraded turbochargers. The Type RZ and Spirit R were limited edition versions of the Series 8.
It was universally praised by critics, because of its rotary engine, which is unusual for cars and is noted for being powerful, thanks to a twin-turbo system.
It is also a popular car in pop culture with its frequent appearances in racing games and action movies, and has been successful in drift motorsport as well.

Compared to the rest of the tier 2 tuner lineup, the RX-7 has the best acceleration and top speed, but still offers impressive handling performance that is up to par with the most capable tier 2 cars. It might be less effective in pursuits, as it is not very durable in crashes.

Need for Speed: World
The RX-7 was made available in Need for Speed: World during the Taiwan closed test session on October 14, 2009 as a tier 2 car. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as a D class car.
Performance-wise, it is one of the best class D cars. Its handling is excellent due to its light weight and responsive steering. Acceleration is also up to par with heavier and more powerful cars.
It is a superb choice for every race and does not show any disadvantages in low heat level pursuit events, but in higher heat levels, against heavier police vehicles, the RX-7 feels less capable.
