The Mazda RX-7 FC, the second generation of the iconic sports car, was produced from 1985 to 1991, succeeding the original RX-7 SA. This generation marked a significant departure from its predecessor, introducing a completely redesigned chassis and a more powerful 13B rotary engine. The FC's sleek, wedge-shaped body was a product of the time, with sharp lines and a low, aggressive stance. Underneath the stylish exterior lay a lightweight, durable chassis designed to handle the unique nature of the rotary engine. A key innovation was the inclusion of a new suspension system, featuring a MacPherson strut front and a multi-link rear, which provided exceptional handling and responsiveness. The FC's performance was enhanced by a 1.3-liter 13B-T rotary engine, producing a respectable 182 horsepower in the early models and later boosted to 200 horsepower. The engine's high-revving nature and smooth power delivery made it a joy to drive on the road and racetrack alike. The FC was offered in both coupe and convertible body styles, each offering its own unique appeal. The coupe was praised for its sleek styling and aerodynamic efficiency, while the convertible provided a more open-air driving experience. The FC's success was further fueled by its relatively affordable price point, making it an accessible choice for enthusiasts seeking a powerful and stylish sports car. However, the RX-7 FC was not without its challenges. Rotary engines, while offering unique characteristics, were also known for their high fuel consumption and require specialized maintenance.
