The Mazda RX-7 FD3S is one of Japan’s most iconic sports cars, combining a lightweight chassis, rear-wheel drive and Mazda’s legendary twin-turbo rotary engine. For Australian imports, Series 7 and Series 8 models from around 2000 onwards are particularly desirable, offering some of the latest and most refined FD specifications available from Japan.
At the heart is Mazda’s 13B-REW 1.3-litre twin-turbo rotary, delivering strong performance in a compact, lightweight package. Its balanced chassis, low driving position and timeless styling have made the FD a benchmark Japanese sports car.
The Series 7 and 8 lineup ranged from accessible models to highly desirable performance variants:
Type RB – entry-level specification.
Type R – performance-focused specification.
Type RS – higher-spec model with upgraded chassis and equipment.
Type RZ – limited-production lightweight variant.
Spirit R – final and most collectible FD specification.
While factory specification matters, condition is the biggest factor when it comes to FD3S values in Japan. A well-maintained, original example in excellent condition can be considerably more desirable than a higher-spec car that has been neglected or heavily modified.
With its 13B-REW twin-turbo rotary, rear-wheel drive and iconic styling, the FD3S has a huge worldwide following. Series 7 and 8 cars remain particularly attractive for Australian buyers seeking desirable JDM specifications sourced directly from Japan.
