- Last Limited-Production Model of Mazda RX-7 named "Spirit R"
- Best driving performance in its history featuring enhanced braking system, promises Mazda

OUR JAPANESE MAZDA friends today announces the launch of three models in the RX-7 "Spirit R," a limited-production series of the RX-7 rotary engine sports car. As the final limited-production series of the RX-7, the Sprit R series goes on sale on April 22 at Mazda Anfini and selected Mazda dealerships throughout Japan.

The Spirit R series is available in 3 models:

1. the Type A, a two-seater with a five-speed manual transmission;
2. the Type-B, a four-seater with a five-speed manual transmission;
3. the Type-C, a four-seater with a four-speed automatic transmission.

All three models are equipped with common interior and exterior features, such as BBS-manufactured 17-inch wheels, red brake calipers, and interior panels with a special soft coating, while each model shows off its own equipment to make a difference from the other.

The Type-A Spirit R is a two-seater model fitted with the Recaro-made exclusive red full bucket seats. These lightweight seats reduce the overall chassis weight of the vehicle by approximately 10 kg.

Braking performance is enhanced through the use of large drilled type ventilated disk brakes for all four wheels and high rigid stainless mesh brake hoses. The Type-A Spirit R model is the ultimate RX-7, boasting the most outstanding driving performance in its history.

Applicable to any model of the Spirit R, five outer panel colours including Titanium Gray Metallic are available.

1,500 units of the RX-7 'Spirit R' series are sold only in Japan.

The RX-7 line-up is available with the Spirit R series and the special edition model "Type R Bathurst" that was launched last December.
