Regular Car Reviews delves into the essence of the FC, the unsung hero that kept the rotary flame alive when all seemed lost. This Mazda may smell like a lawnmower, but its turbocharged rotary engine delivers a symphony of hissing and fluttering that will make any enthusiast weak in the knees. The FC's driving experience is likened to launching rubber bands across a room, with its boost-building antics providing a unique thrill unlike any other.
Comparing the two-rotor and three-rotor FCs, the debate rages on about which offers a more exhilarating ride. While the three-rotor boasts immediate torque and a smooth sound reminiscent of a lawnmower on its last legs, the two-rotor with a turbo delivers a more expressive driving experience. Modifications to the FC, such as the hybrid turbo, showcase the challenges of enhancing performance without compromising reliability, a delicate dance that enthusiasts must navigate.
The rising value of RX7 FCs reflects a growing appreciation for these iconic vehicles, steeped in nostalgia and character that modern cars often lack. As Regular Car Reviews aptly points out, older cars like the FC embody a bygone era where automakers had to strive for excellence rather than follow market trends. In a world where uniqueness is a rare commodity, the FC stands as a testament to a time when cars were more than just transportation—they were symbols of passion and ingenuity.
