Mazda RX-7 Type A Spirit R (FD-3S) '2002

'Banzai type'

This really is a jump in to the unknown...and Rx-7 is not really a wolf car either, but just got inspired with this one. I have never been a huge fan of Japan super cars, of course sometimes dreamed of the mighty Skylines and tremendously beautiful 2000 GT, but otherwise knowledge has been gained mostly from Playstation. By the way RX-7 Spirit R really seems to be a favor of the Playstation generation as I was looking for pictures for this article from Google many of the pictures were captured from Forza Motorsport and Grand Turismo. Anyway 3rd gen. RX-7 It's not a proper wolf car but deserves to be here because its beauty and coolness, especially when lowered properly and without the terrible rear spoiler.

RX-7 is a special little car: it has a rotary engine, first-ever mass produced sequential twin-turbochargers and regarded as being one of the best handling car ever with its low weight, low center of gravity and 50:50 weight distribution.

Spirit R was the special version of the victorious 3rd generation RX-7. It was only produced 1500 units in the 2002 (the last year of RX-7's made) in three versions: type-A (majority 1000 units), two-seater manual; type-B, a four-seated manual and type-C, four-seated automatic. Otherwise three models game with a similar red interior, BBS 17" wheels, red brake calibers and special interior panels. Actually Mazda added all the special features they had used in previous RX-7 special models in to the Sprit R. Now there's a die-cast model awailable of the this beast.
