This is a 1993 Mazda RX-7. Designed by Tom Matano, Yoichi Satล and Wu-huang Chin, the third and final generation of the RX-7, introduced in 1992, was originally sold under the ษ›̃fini brand and featured significant changes over its predecessor.

Powered by a twin-turbocharged 13B-REW 1.3L twin-rotor Wankel engine, the FD RX-7, as it was internally known, was the first ever mass-produced sequential twin-turbo car to be exported from Japan. The car produced 252 BHP and had a 5-speed manual. Sales of the RX-7 were affected in Japan due to its non-compliance with Japanese dimension regulations; due to this it was considered an "upper echelon" luxury sports car there, with Mazda producing the Eunos Roadster (MX-5) and Eunos Presso (MX-3) as smaller offerings. The RX-7 could be configured as either a 2- or 4-seat car. The R1 was an uprated version of the RX-7, with upgraded suspension and an aerodynamics package with a front lip and rear wing.

The twin-turbocharging system, developed with Hitachi, was complex; it also predated the car, being used on the JC Eunos Cosmo. The system provided semi-linear acceleration from a wide torque curve throughout the entire rev range, with the changeover of turbochargers happening at 4500 RPM. Various RX-7 variants were introduced over its lifespan, giving the car increased power and sometimes different aesthetics. While sales in North America ended in 1995, sales continued until 2002 in other markets. 68,589 were produced.

The RX-7 gained some prominence in the Fast & Furious franchise, with a car of this type driven by Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel). The car was built and owned by Keith Imoto; it used a VeilSide USA CII body kit, RE Amemiya headlights, a GT rear wing, a ported engine and VeilSide Andrew Racing wheels. Five cars were used for filming; the Hero 1 car's location is unknown although it is rumored to be in California.

Now this casting was designed by Jun Imai and introduced in 2017. This casting has seen twenty-six known releases, the last being this 25th Anniversary "Chase" edition in 2026.



This is a 1976 Mazda RX-3 Wagon Custom. Nicknamed "FURSTY", the RX-3 was a rotary-engined version of the Grand Familia series of automobiles produced by Mazda from 1971 to 1978.

The Grand Familia was intended to be a replacement for the smaller Familia to better compete with the Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sunny and Mitsubishi Colt. It was available in a number of different versions, such as the rotary engine-powered RX-3 and was sold in various export markets under different names. The Grand Familia and RX-3 were also taken racing with success. Production ended in 1978.

FURSTY is owned by New Zealand drifter Mad Mike Whiddett, this being stated to be his first "street weapon". It started life as a Mazda 808, the only wagon version of the Grand Familia family offered in the region; the car was given a RX-3 front end facelift, an Alec Bell Mazda 1.3L 13B peripheral ported rotary engine, Weber IDA carb and K&N air filter poking out the hood. FURSTY was later sold in 2005, with Whiddett later creating MADBUL, his RX-7, which would become one of his signature builds.

FURSTY changed hands a number of times, with Whiddett buying it back in 2023. The car was then rebuilt by IMR Fabrication with a custom chassis and fitted with a Rocket Bunny body kit among other modifications. Further modifications were conducted by TCP Magic in Kobe, who fitted it with a custom 2.6L 26B 4-rotor engine; the car rides on Toyo Tires Proxes and custom Rotiform rims. Unveiled at the 2024 Tokyo Auto Salon, FURSTY was used in competition for the 2024 D1GP series, driving for Toyo Tires × RedBull TCP Magic; it is also used for Whiddett's various showruns.

Now this casting was designed by Ron Wong and introduced in 2025. This is currently its only release.



This is a Custom 1988 Mazda Savanna RX-7 Turbo II. 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.

The FC was introduced in 1985 and trended towards softer grand tourer-like trends, sharing some similarities with the more luxury-oriented Cosmo. The car also featured more precise steering due to a rack and pinion system, as well as revised suspension. A number of trim levels of the FC were produced, including S4, Sport and Turbo II; the Turbo II was introduced in 1987 and powered by a 1.3L 13B-T two-rotor turbocharged engine. Rear seats were optional on some models. Production ended in 1992; 272,027 were produced.

Collete Davis, an American Drifter, owns a number of FCs, including this 1988 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II, nicknamed the 3 Rotor RX-7. It has an engine swapped with a 2.0L 20B-REW three-rotor turbocharged engine from a JC Eunos Cosmo, with the turbo swapped for a Garrett G42-1200 with external oil pumps. The car is fitted with an Adaptronic ECU and took some five years to build; it now produces 617 horsepower. It rides on an OMD big angle kit, 326 Power Yabaking Gangsta rims and Kumho Ecsta tires. Davis currently owns three other RX-7S; one of the others features Sailor Moon graphics and is named the Sailor 7.

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 five known releases, the last being this one in 2025.



This is a 1992 Mazda 323 GT-R. Designed by Norihiko Kawaoka, the 323 GT-R is a homologation special version of the BG8 Mazda 323, intended for competition in Group A of the FIA World Rally Championship.

Only available in Japan, the 323 GT-R was essentially an enhanced version of the GT-X. Compared to the standard 323, the 323 GT-R was equipped with a 1.8L BPT turbocharged inline-4, mated to a 5-speed manual; this engine put power down on all four wheels, identifiable by their distinctive five lugs. Compared to the other homologation special, the 323 GT-X, the 323 GT-R featured further enhancements such as an aggressive front bumper, grille and hood vents, updated rear bumper, wheel flares, stiffer suspension and thicker anti-roll bars, as well as model-specific badging.

The 323 GT-R's interior was fitted with leather and suede seats, with a three-gauge cluster replacing the cup holders as an option; in general the car was stripped of most luxuries. The car's engine itself was also enhanced, with stronger rods and pistons, larger oil squirters, nose cranks, oil coolers and injectors, sodium-filled valves, baffled inlet manifold, removed boost cut, a front-mounted intercooler and a stronger IHI VJ-23 turbocharger; all these resulted in the engine producing 207 horsepower. An enhanced version of the car, the 323 GT-Ae, was also produced in limited quantities to celebrate the launch of the 323 GT-R; this car had further enhancements over the 323 GT-R. Production ended in 1996 with about 2,200 produced, as well as 300 GT-Ae models.

Now this casting was designed by Ron Wong and introduced in 2024 in the Boulevard line. This is currently its only release.




This is a Custom 2004 Mazda RX-8. Designed by Ikuo Maeda, the RX-8 is a compact quad coupe produced by Mazda starting 2003 as a successor to the RX-7. Powered by a 1.3L 13B-MSP RENESIS twin-rotor engine mated to a number of different transmissions depending on port configuration, the RX-8 was first unveiled in 2001 at the North American International Auto Show.

Featuring "freestyle" doors, near 50:50 weight distribution and a low polar moment of inertia, the RX-8 features a stiffer chassis and can comfortably seat four people. The car would be discontinued in 2012 due to failing to meet emissions requirements and rising Yen prices, causing Mazda to be unable to justify its continued sale. While it never really reached the popularity of the RX-7, the RX-8 has found a home in the car culture scene in various countries, with many using it for drifting or racing. 192,094 were produced.

The RX-8 also gained some screen cred in 2004, appearing in the film The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Driven by Neela (Nathalie Kelley), it is used to drift on a tōge road around Tokyo. It is fitted with, among other parts, a Veilside D1-GT bodykit and wing as styled by VeilSide founder Hironao Yokomaku, carbon fiber painted hood, GReddy turbo kit, Tanabe exhaust system, Takata seats, Nardi steering wheel and Volk GT-AV wheels on Toyo Proxes rubbers. At least two cars were built for the film; one was sold by Newera Imports in 2020 and another is apparently in Pakistan.

Now this casting was designed by Charlie Angulo and introduced in 2023 in the third wave of the Fast & Furious line. This is currently its only release.

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.
