[Product Description]
・[Contents] A typical reciprocating engine generates power by moving cylindrical pistons up and down inside a cylinder. A rotary engine (RE) is completely different, generating power through the rotational motion of rice-ball-shaped pistons (rotors). Mazda of Japan was the first in the world to successfully commercialize RE, and for a time made it its identity. The RX-7 was released in 1978 as a dedicated RE vehicle under the name Savanna RX-7. The second generation was released in 1985, the third generation in 1991, and the series came to an end in 2003. The third generation RX-7 was chosen as the motif for Hot Wheels, and is characterized by an organic form that makes extensive use of curves. It is commonly known by the nickname FD (F-Die) after its model number (FD3S). The RE was also installed in the RX-8, its successor model, which was redesigned as a four-door sedan (coupe). However, due to its reduced power and heavier body compared to the FD, which boasted a maximum output of 280 horsepower thanks to its twin turbos, the FD's popularity has continued to grow to this day. Hot Wheels has faithfully scaled down the appearance of this immortal sports car, a true representation of the real thing.

[Perfect Gift] This makes a perfect gift for birthdays, Christmas, kindergarten/school entrance ceremonies, and other special occasions.
[Contents] A typical reciprocating engine generates power by moving cylindrical pistons up and down within cylinders. The rotary engine (RE) generates power through the rotational motion of a completely different, rice-ball-shaped piston (rotor). Mazda, Japan, was the world's first to successfully commercialize the RE, and at one point made it a defining feature of its identity. The RX-7 debuted in 1978 as a RE-exclusive vehicle under the name Savanna RX-7. The second-generation model was released in 1985, the third in 1991, and the series came to an end in 2003.
Hot Wheels chose the third-generation RX-7 as its motif, characterized by its organic form made extensive use of curves, and is affectionately known as the FD (F-Die) after its model number (FD3S). The RE itself was also installed in the successor model, the RX-8, which was remodeled into a four-door sedan (coupe), but this was less powerful than the FD, which was equipped with two turbos and boasted a maximum output of 280 horsepower, and the body was also heavier, so the popularity of the FD has not waned, but has continued to grow to the present day.
Hot Wheels has faithfully scaled down the appearance of this immortal sports car, the pride of Mazda, to the actual car.
