The RX-7 can be considered to be one of the most iconic JDM sports cars of its time. The Mazda RX-7 was in production for three gens, all of which made use of the compact, lightweight Wankel Rotary Engine. All the fans can easily recognize this car from the Fast and Furious Franchise where it was driven by Dominic Toretto in the very first movie of the series. The franchise brought it back for the Tokyo Drift where Han's Mazda RX-7 was easily the most beautiful car in that movie.
Mazda RX-7 was not the first rotary-engined car that was launched by the company, that would be the Cosmo Sport which had come out almost a decade earlier. Mazda got into using these engines as they had a number of advantages. The Wankel Rotary Engine has a power to weight ratio of 3:1 over a standard engine, it also revs at higher rpm, due to lesser moving parts, it was much cheaper to produce than the standard piston engine.
