By the late 1970s, new sports car introductions were a rare event.
Sensing the same need that Nissan had in 1969 for an affordable,
reliable and basic sports car, Mazda rushed to fill the niche that
Datsun had abandoned when they irretrievably took the 240Z upmarket
as the 280ZX. Mazda even had the nerve to invoke the beloved 240Z
in the original ads for the RX-7.
Mazda in those days was heavily invested into Wankel/Rotary engine
technology so it was a natural that the light, compact, and
powerful engine would find a home in Madza's new sports car. It
gave near V-8 performance and a lofty redline, just what
enthusiasts had been clamoring for. Affordable, quick, and
well-built, Mazda dealers were playing the game that Datsun dealers
had a decade before. Few RX-7s left dealer lots at anything near
sticker price. GS cars were more heavily optioned and could be had
with automatic and air conditioning. There were few changes (and
few color choices) for the first several years, with the 100-hp
12-A version of the Rotary being the only engine available. It was
enough to give the lightweight car more than adequate performance
for the day.
