Product Description
- A typical reciprocating engine generates power by having a cylindrical piston go up and down inside a cylinder.
- The rotary engine (RE) is a completely different type of engine that generates power through the rotational motion of rice ball-shaped pistons (rotors). Mazda of Japan was the first in the world to successfully put the RE into practical use, and at one point made it its identity.
- The RX-7 was released in 1978 as a RE-exclusive model under the name Savanna RX-7.
- The second generation was released in 1985, the third generation in 1991, and the model came to an end in 2003.
- The motif that Hot Wheels chose is the third-generation RX-7, which features an organic form with many curved surfaces and is commonly referred to as FD (F-D) due to its model number (FD3S).
- The RE itself was also installed in the successor model, the RX-8, which changed its format to a four-door sedan (coupe), but it was less powerful than the FD, which was equipped with two turbos and boasted a maximum output of 280 horsepower, and the body was also heavier, so the popularity of the FD has not waned but has only continued to grow to the present day.
- Hot Wheels has faithfully scaled down this immortal sports car that Mazda is proud of, based on the actual car.
