Overview

The Mazda RX7 was only sold in the US from 1993-1995.  The production number was only 13,879 in total, with only 3403 in 1994.  Of those 3403 in 1994 only 118 of them came in the Silver Stone Metallic with the Touring Package and a manual transmission.  And of those 118 only 16 came with the red interior.  1994 was the last year for the Touring Package option, also the last year the red leather was offered as an option, and the first year the Silver Stone Metallic was available.  They softened the suspension in 1994 for the Base and Touring models.  Added in 1994 also was a passenger side airbag, map pockets, and one touch driver’s side window switch.  To say the car here for sale is rare would be an understatement.  Not only would you be hard pressed to find another with the same options and color scheme, you won’t find one in this condition and with this low of miles.  This car has been very well cared for its entire life.  It has been in single ownership since new.  It was garage kept, driven sparingly every year, and never in anything other than sunshine.  Maintenance was regularly performed by Mazda technicians and all the recalls were performed by Mazda as well.    

 

Exterior

This car wears its entirely original paint.  There is not one scratch.  There is a small chip under the rear spoiler.(see photos)  It shines like the day it was sold.  No fading or discolorations, not one sign of any rust.  The front chin spoiler has not been scraped on any low driveways.  Every wheel is in like new condition and wrapped in like new P225/50R16 Goodyear Eagle tires.  There is a dealer installed wind deflector on the glass moonroof, with the white Mazda stamp still visible.  All gaps are good, doors shut properly, and hood/trunk fit is good as well.  It has the optional rear window wiper and washer.  There is also a period cell phone antenna on the rear window. 

 

Interior

The interior in this RX7 is absolutely stunning.  As it should be with only a mere 12,000 miles on the car.  It has never been repaired or replaced, it is all the original leather and trim.  The red leather seats are in amazing condition.  They were very well cared for.  There is not one sign of discoloration or cracks.  The leather is very soft and clean.  There are not any stains or spots in the carpet or the optional floor mats.  The 2 rear compartments are clean and have no scratches in the plastic trim.  The storage compartment on the driver’s door still has its little door.  It has the optional rear cargo cover.  The center console is like new.  The ashtray is clean, the owner was not a smoker.  The pedals are drilled aluminum.  All the electronics work perfectly.  Windows, moonroof, mirrors, and locks all work flawlessly.  All the interior lights, gauges, and wipers are in great working order.  This car has the optional Bose Acoustic Wave Sound System and it works perfectly.  None of the switches or knobs show any wear or discoloration.  The AC blows cold.  The interior of this car is in simply amazing condition.  It does have a period cell phone docking station on the passenger side of the transmission tunnel. 


Mechanicals

The twin turbo 2 cylinder Rotary liter engine runs as strong as the day it was built.  It pulls like a super car.  0-60 MPH time in the mid-5 second range with 255 BHP and 160 MPH top speed.  It has excellent oil pressure.  The cooling system works perfectly.  Electric fans are in proper working condition, coolant is clean, and there is zero smoke or smells.  It has only had premium fuel in its tank.  It only has 12,000 original miles on it.  All the routine services done to the motor were performed by Mazda, according to the original owner.  The turbos are in excellent working condition.  The car has zero leaks.  All the recalls were performed.  All the hoses look to be in great condition.  The clutch feels amazing.  It shifts very smoothly, including into 5th gear.  No rattles, clunks, or shakes.  The 4 wheel disc brakes are firm.  The car rides very smoothly on its original suspension components.


Literature and Extras

The car still has all its original books, pamphlets, and holders.  The original window sticker and original spare key.  It comes with extra oil filters and air filters from Mazda and the original Bose Sound System test CD.  Also, the moonroof interior cover.    


Conclusion

You are not going to find a nicer original example of the Mazda RX7.  It has had no modifications, like most of the others on the market.  This car is ready to be driven if you so choose too.  Simply a joy to drive!

Mazda and Clemson collaborate on Deep Orange 3 concept

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

There are school projects, and then there's the Mazda Deep Orange 3 Concept Car, a one-off built by Clemson University automotive engineering students and designed by Frederick Naaman from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Clemson students unveiled the chassis at the 2012 SEMA show in Las Vegas, although this is the first showing of the car fully clothed.
Sporting a unique hybrid powertrain that can automatically switch between front-, rear-, and all-wheel drive. A gas-powered engine handles the fronts, while the rears are powered by an electric motor and a battery pack. The Deep Orange 3 also has an unusual three-plus-three layout, making it a much cooler version of your parent's old Vista Cruiser. The exterior sheetmetal clearly follows Mazda's established design language, and looks like it could easily pass for a five-door version of the Shinari Concept. It really is a great looking vehicle.
The Deep Orange 3 was part of Clemson's graduate-level auto engineering program, and is a regular partnership between the east coast school and the Pasadena-based design college's students. Clemson, Art Center and Mazda will be showing the Deep Orange 3 at the Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI, from August 5 to August 8.

Premium design and diesels: Mazda may be the next VW

Fri, Feb 10 2017

At the Chicago Auto Show, we had a chance to sit down with Jacob Brown, a Mazda PR representative, and Jacques Flynn, a lead exterior designer at the company, to talk about design and where the company is going. One of the themes of our discussion was the company's desire to move its lineup toward a more premium, upscale feel and image – both in terms of vehicle design and powertrains. We realized the company may be looking to take a page from Volkswagen's American playbook, positioning itself as a prime purveyor of affordable, upscale – and most importantly, fun to drive – automobiles. In the case of design, Flynn talked about how Mazda's KODO design language is going to evolve; that the goal is to simplify and refine the look. We discussed the CX-5 as an example of this evolution. Flynn pointed out that the goal was to add more refinement and simplicity, and showed how Mazda achieved this on the CX-5 by straightening the curves from the previous model to give it more visual length and a more taut shape. The grille also was given more depth and detailing, which isn't simplified per se, but does provide a more premium look. View 9 Photos Mazda's upcoming diesel engines are another piece to Mazda's premium puzzle. The company will finally offer a diesel on the CX-5. While Mazda planned not to use urea-injection, it finally resorted to the system so the engine could both meet performance benchmarks and emissions standards. In addition to the efficiency of the engine, Brown said that diesel engines have a premium nature for buyers. This is due in part to the luxury automakers that mainly offer them in the US, such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz, and to the fact that the technology will add some cost to the product. If all of this sounds familiar, it's because you know these characteristics used to describe Volkswagen: a company known for upscale, affordable cars, providing great driving dynamics – and formerly, for efficient and fun-to-drive TDI diesel engines. While we didn't touch on the driving experience of modern Mazdas in our interview, you can simply look at any of our reviews to see that we generally like what the company builds. The only downside is that we may have to wait a while for some models, and others may never show up here. Brown and Flynn both said that the Mazda2 is unlikely to be offered in the US as anything other than the Toyota Yaris iA, since it's hard to convince people that a subcompact is premium. No surprise there.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club Edition sharpens, styles the new roadster

Thu, Apr 2 2015

One could argue that any iteration of the last-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata was worth having. But were it our money on the line, we'd have likely driven home with the Club, a simple trim that, for a reasonable $28,665 (for the retractable hardtop model), added a number of performance and aesthetic features. The 2016 MX-5 Miata Club Edition should prove to be a successful followup. Like last year's model, it adds a limited-slip differential, a retuned suspension with Bilstein shocks and a tower brace under the hood. On the aesthetic side of the game, 17-inch gunmetal wheels are included, along with a new rear spoiler and a front splitter. For those that demand an even sharper Club Edition, though, Mazda will also offer even lighter wheels, courtesy of BBS, along with Brembo brakes and the aero kit from the MX-5 Global Cup racer. Check out our full original post on the MX-5 Miata Club Edition, as well as a complete gallery of live images from the 2015 New York International Auto Show.

In the process, MX-5 has shed approximately 150 pounds from its predecessor, with a curb weight of 2,332 lbs. when equipped with SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual transmission (2,381 lbs. with the six-speed automatic transmission). The MX-5 Club heightens performance with trim-level exclusive: - 17-inch gunmetal alloy wheels wrapped in 205/45R17 tires - Limited-slip differential when equipped with SKYACTIV-MT - Bilstein shocks when equipped with SKYACTIV-MT - Shock tower brace when equipped with SKYACTIV-MT - Front air dam and rear lip spoilers Standard equipment on MX-5 Club models includes MAZDA CONNECTTM infotainment system with a seven-inch color touchscreen display and multi-function commander control, HD and SiriusXM Satellite Radio, two USB ports, piano black side mirrors and seatback bars and a nine-speaker Bose audio system with headrest speakers.
