The second-generation RX-7 represents Mazda's rotary engine mastery at its peak. Built from 1986-1992, this FC chassis delivered what many consider the perfect balance of the rotary experience—more refined than the original SA22C, yet purer than the complex FD that followed. The naturally aspirated 13B twin-rotor produced 160hp with that distinctive rotary howl, while the optional turbo variant bumped output to 182hp. Penned by Mazda's design team under Tom Matano's influence, the FC's clean lines aged beautifully and influenced sports car design throughout the late '80s. Production totaled roughly 272,000 units globally, making clean examples increasingly sought-after. The FC's 50/50 weight distribution and nimble handling earned it cult status among driving purists. Today's collectors prize unmolested examples, particularly the rare convertible and turbo variants, as rotary engine expertise becomes scarcer and these analog sports cars represent a vanishing breed.
