The 1981 to 1983 Mazda RX-7, a revolutionary sports car, marked a significant milestone in automotive history. Introduced in 1978, the first-generation RX-7 (known internally as the SA) was a lightweight and agile coupe powered by Mazda's groundbreaking rotary engine. This innovative engine, a Wankel rotary, offered a unique blend of power and efficiency. The RX-7's sleek, aerodynamic design, inspired by the Porsche 924, was a striking departure from the boxy sports cars of the time. Notably, the RX-7 was the first Japanese sports car to be officially imported into the United States, where it quickly gained popularity for its affordable price, impressive performance, and fuel efficiency.

The 1981 to 1983 RX-7 was powered by a 1.1-liter 12A rotary engine producing 100 horsepower. Despite its small size, the rotary engine delivered a surprising amount of torque and a smooth, linear power delivery. The RX-7's light weight, low center of gravity, and well-tuned suspension made it a joy to drive on both winding roads and racetracks. It was praised for its responsive steering, precise handling, and comfortable ride. The RX-7 was offered in various trim levels, including the base model, the GSL, and the GSL-SE. Features included a five-speed manual transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, and optional amenities such as air conditioning, power steering, and a sunroof. The RX-7's success laid the foundation for Mazda's reputation as a manufacturer of innovative and engaging sports cars, cementing its place in automotive history.
