The Mazda RX-7 FD-3S is one of the most iconic sports cars of the 90s and had its heyday from 1992 to 2002. This third generation RX-7 stood out with its dynamic design and its involvement in various motorsport events. Under the hood lay a 1.3-liter rotary engine that delivered impressive performance and significantly reduced the overall weight of the vehicle. This innovative engine design was developed by Kenichi Yamamoto and Takashi Yura. For collectors, this specially tuned model in a 1/18 scale produced by Ignition Models from high-quality resin is a limited edition piece.
The 1/18 scale miniature of the Rocket Bunny variant of the Mazda RX-7 FD-3S, showcased in the collection of Modelly member "Andy", impresses with its true-to-scale representation. The golden BBS wheels and the lowered suspension give the model car a realistic and aggressive look. The deep red Pearlescent Ruby Red paint, accentuated with the distinct Rocket Bunny decals, stands out prominently. The front bumper and rear diffuser are finely detailed, making the model especially appealing to collectors and car enthusiasts.
The Mazda RX-7 FD-3S boasted a power output of up to 276 horsepower and a maximum torque of 273 Nm, making it one of the most powerful vehicles in its class. The turbochargers from Hitachi provided additional performance. The RX-7 was often praised for its excellent suspension tuning and superb weight distribution, factors that made it popular in racing circles and among car fans. The Japanese tuning company Rocket Bunny, founded in 2008 by Kei Miura, outfitted the depicted model with a wider body kit and gave it an aggressive stance. Noteworthy world events in the model's production year of 1992 include the US presidential election campaign, won by Bill Clinton, and the release of Whitney Houston's song "I Will Always Love You."
