+rep the RX nomenclature plays a massively important role in Mazda’s past – historically, anything bearing the name has also had a rotary engine, but the RX-7 always had just that little bit more panache than its related RX family. The RX-7 is arguably most recognised by UK car buyers in FD form, the third and final generation that was built over the course of 10 years, between 1992 and 2002. 
It’s been great to be reacquainted with the FD RX-7. Two decades of rampant engineering progress and sky-rocketing performance mean Mazda’s flagship sports car is no longer the force it was back in 1993, but it remains a thoroughly charming, fascinating, intriguing and usefully rapid car. It does things differently – as you’d hope – but it does them well. Well enough to remain the high point for Mazda’s rotary efforts. Here’s hoping last year’s glorious RX-Vision concept makes the leap to production and rekindles some of this RX-7’s abundant magic.
