The entry

The Mazda RX-7 Spirit R.

The Spirit R was the last special edition of the FD-generation RX-7, using Mazda's twin-turbocharged rotary engine and revised suspension tuning.

It was produced in a limited run to close out the model before Mazda ended RX-7 production.

We review your Mazda RX-7 Spirit R on the engineering behind it, its own history and its condition, not against a generic pricing model.
