On its introduction in 1978 the rotary-engined RX-7 was a revelation. It was stylish, quick; smooth and the handling was agile. Power was boosted in 1981 to 115bhp which English racing driver Vic Elford increased with the addition of a turbo. The second generation models were introduced in 1986 with a completely restyled body and engine modifications that took the power output to 148bhp. Two years later the Mazda RX-7 Turbo had 200bhp and also the option of a convertible body. The normally aspirated cars ceased in 1989 with the Turbo remaining until 1992.
