Mazda RX-7 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1985–1991) — Second Generation
The second-generation Mazda RX-7 is a compact sports Coupe aimed at drivers who want a low, rear-driven two-door. This page helps you understand that generation’s Coupe bodies and how they were meant to be used.
The Mazda RX-7 engine is a rotary gasoline unit, so displacement looks small on paper even when the Coupe feels lively. In the 1.3 AT example, that 1.3-liter engine drives the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. Other powertrain pairings existed; treat this drivetrain as one snapshot, not the complete lineup.
