The Mazda RX-7, introduced in 1978, was the first generation of a legendary sports car series that would become synonymous with rotary engine performance and handling. The 1979-1980 model years, part of the first generation, offered a unique blend of affordability, sportiness, and a technological marvel in the form of its rotary engine. This model, known internally as the SA22C, was available in both a coupe and a targa top configuration and offered a sleek and modern design compared to its contemporaries. The engine was a 1.1-liter 12A rotary with a single carburetor, producing a modest 100 horsepower. However, the lightweight construction and nimble handling of the RX-7 made it a surprisingly capable car for its time. This lightweight design, coupled with the unique characteristics of the rotary engine, contributed to its reputation as a nimble and fun-to-drive car.

It featured a MacPherson strut setup in the front and a live axle in the rear, with coil springs and shock absorbers at all four corners. The car's handling was praised by reviewers, with its quick steering response and excellent balance contributing to a rewarding driving experience. The RX-7 became a popular choice for both enthusiasts and everyday drivers, offering a blend of affordability, sportiness, and reliability. It was also a popular choice for modifications, and its lightweight design and potent rotary engine made it an ideal platform for tuning. While the first generation RX-7 is now a classic car, its legacy continues to inspire enthusiasts and collectors around the world. The RX-7's unique design, performance, and enduring popularity have cemented its place as an iconic sports car, and the 1979-1980 models remain highly sought after by those looking to experience the early days of this legendary automobile.
