Mazda RX7
One of most interesting and mass-produced sports coupes from the ’70s and ’80s is the Mazda RX7. They introduced the first generation in 1978 and it stayed on the market until 1985. During that period, they built almost 500,000 RX-7s, selling most of them in America.
Under the hood was a 1.1 to 1.3-liter Wankel rotary engine, which was the RX-7`s most notable feature. The extremely compact and light engine produced 102 to 135 HP. That was more than enough for the lively performance of this little coupe.
