This is a Custom '90 Mazda Savanna RX-7 Turbo II with a Pandem widebody kit. Designed by Akio Uchiyama, the second generation RX-7, known internally as the FC, steered towards a sport tourer-style car, with styling patterned after cars such as the Porsche 944 and focusing on the American market. Produced from 1985 to 1992, 272,027 were produced.
As I've talked about the RX-7 FC in detail in the past, let's talk about the kit. Described by noted automotive photographer Larry Chen as "the best FC RX-7 widebody kit ever", this kit harkens back to the GTD days. Built by Kei Miura, the founder of TRA-Kyoto, this was a customized build originally starting from a stock 1990 Mazda RX-7. Commissioned to be a SEMA build, the kit consists of a new front bumper, side skirts, front and rear fenders, rear diffuser, ducktail wing, new rear signals and quadruple rally-style headlamps and their associated mounts. The car also features a new GReddy turbo kit, making the car produce something like 215 BHP from its 13B-T rotary through a custom GReddy exhaust and cat system. Fitted with custom-made Enkei wheels and negative camber, this street monster will steal the show. Miura wanted to bring this specific RX-7 back to Japan to display at the Tokyo Auto Salon, but he ended up building a second copy to display there; this car is currently owned by GReddy USA.
Now this casting was designed by Mark Jones and introduced in 2022 in the Ronin Run segment of the Car Culture line. This casting has seen two known releases, the other being a black "Chase" version that is harder to find.
