The 1998 Mazda RX-7 RZ (FD3S) (Series 8) is a limited edition model of the Series 8 manufactured by Mazda. Prior to the end of production, the Spirit R was introduced, which was introduced as the last limited edition model of the RX-7.
The Type RZ differs from the regular RX-7 by being exclusively available with grey BBS wheels and red interior. In addition, the RZ was upgraded with slightly more powerful turbochargers and a new muffler.
