Mazda RX-7: Four-wheeled Star
Among the favorites from the movie was the 1993 Mazda RX-7 that Dominic Toretto drove in the street racing scene. Turbo-charged and nitrous-boosted, the fire engine red RX-7 kept Dominic as king of the streets. Just like any royalty, the Mazda RX-7 was regally attired. It had a Veilside body kit and custom headlights to make it stand out. The dagger-spoke wheels, also from Veilside, added to the sleek finish. Toyo 18-inch tires were installed for the best street handling.

Mazda is calling this new rotary engine the "long-stroke rotary engine." As you may already know, the 13B rotary engine has a displacement of just 1300cc, which is 1.3 Liters. While the Mazda 16x has an engine displacement of 1600cc (800cc x 2), which is 1.6 Liters; and though they've made the 16x significantly larger than the 13B - it weighs less than a 13B. This is due to aluminum side housings, which Mazda says shouldn't scare us.
