The 1984 and 1985 Mazda RX-7 stands as a cornerstone of the rotary engine revolution, captivating enthusiasts with its unique technology and sporty handling. This first-generation RX-7, codenamed SA, marked a significant departure from its predecessor, the Cosmo. It featured a sleek, aerodynamic design penned by renowned automotive designer, Matasaburo Makita, who aimed for a "coke bottle" profile. The car's lightweight construction, utilizing a mix of steel and aluminum, further emphasized its sporty character. Under the hood, the RX-7 housed a 1.1-liter 12A rotary engine, churning out respectable power for its time. While known for its smooth, high-revving performance, the rotary engine also demanded a different maintenance approach compared to traditional piston engines, requiring regular inspections and adjustments.

The 1984 and 1985 RX-7 offered drivers a unique experience, combining spirited acceleration with precise handling. The independent suspension system, featuring MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear, provided remarkable agility and responsiveness. The car's relatively small size further enhanced its nimbleness, making it a joy to drive on winding roads. However, its rear-wheel drive layout, coupled with the engine's inherent torque sensitivity, demanded a certain level of driver skill to fully exploit its potential. Despite its limited power output compared to later generations, the first-generation RX-7 carved a niche for itself as a lightweight and agile sports car, boasting undeniable charm and a distinctive character that endeared it to enthusiasts worldwide.
