1/24 – Efini RX-7 – Tamiya

October 1991 saw the debut of this third generation (FD3S) model of the RX-7 rotary engine sports car. From the aluminum bonnet to the thin panes used on the windows, the car was designed for lightness; power was provided by the 13B-REW two-rotor engine with sequential twin turbochargers, rated at a striking 255hp. Even the four wheel double wishbone suspension was light, with liberal use of aluminum. A front midship layout was selected with an eye on balance, and the PPF (powerplant frame) between the transmission and differential boosted rigidity: the result was extremely direct driving feel, and this stunning sports car remains beloved by a legion of fans even in the modern day.
