The 1989 Mazda RX-7, a legendary sports car known for its sleek design and powerful rotary engine, marked a significant milestone in the evolution of the iconic model. The third generation of the RX-7, introduced in 1985, presented a redesigned chassis based on Mazda's new "FB" platform. The 1989 model year saw several refinements, including a revised suspension setup for improved ride and handling, as well as a more aggressive front bumper design. The heart of the RX-7 remained its 1.3-liter, twin-rotor, naturally aspirated rotary engine, codenamed 13B-T. This engine, featuring a turbocharger and intercooler, produced an impressive 202-215 horsepower (151-160 kW), depending on the market and trim level, and was paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic. The 1989 RX-7's lightweight construction, thanks to its aluminum hood and doors, and sophisticated handling characteristics, aided by a double wishbone suspension at both ends, made it a formidable performer on the track and the road. The car's interior was well-appointed with comfortable seats, a comprehensive instrument cluster, and a well-designed dashboard. While the RX-7 was praised for its sporty nature and distinctive styling, it also garnered a reputation for its unique engine technology. The rotary engine, while delivering a smooth and high-revving experience, had a reputation for being thirsty and prone to oil consumption. Nevertheless, the RX-7's performance, handling, and overall design established it as a true legend in the world of sports cars, leaving a lasting impact on the automotive landscape.
