About the model The first-generation RX-7 (SA22 or FB chassis code) was a two-seat hard-topped sports car with a glass liftback available between 1979 and 1985.
Powered by the 12A two-rotor Wankel producing around 100hp, the lightweight sports car proved quite popular for amateur motorsports.
This Series 1 RX-7 wore exposed steel bumpers, typically painted body color.
The later series 2 and 3 had lighter, plastic-covered bumpers.
For 1984-1985, the Series 3 GSL-SE (often called 'five-letter cars') brought a larger 13B two-rotor (135hp) and a different bolt pattern for the wheels.
The 2nd Generation Mazda RX-7 replaced the 1st Gen RX-7 for the model year 1986.
