The 1986-1988 Mazda RX-7 (also known as the FC3S) was the second generation of the iconic Japanese sports car. This generation saw a significant departure from the previous FB-series RX-7, emphasizing sleek aesthetics and a refined driving experience. Sporting a lower, wider stance and a more aerodynamic design, the FC3S captured the spirit of the 1980s with its pop-up headlights and sharp lines. Under the hood, the RX-7 remained powered by Mazda's rotary engine, though the 1.3L 13B engine was now turbocharged and offered in various configurations for different markets. These included naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants, with power outputs ranging from 135 hp to 200 hp. The FC3S also introduced a new independent rear suspension, which provided better handling and ride comfort. The 1986-1988 RX-7's success was cemented by its competitive performance and engaging driving dynamics. The lightweight chassis and responsive engine, combined with the advanced suspension system, allowed the car to carve corners with agility and deliver a thrilling driving experience. It quickly gained popularity among enthusiasts, becoming a favorite in both street and track racing. Despite its performance, the FC3S remained a relatively practical car for everyday use. The comfortable interior, decent trunk space, and fuel efficiency made it a viable choice for daily driving. The 1986-1988 RX-7 was a significant step forward for Mazda, establishing itself as a serious contender in the world of sports cars and solidifying its reputation for innovative engineering and performance.
