One of the most attractive coupes ever made, the Mazda RX-7 was powered by a Wankel rotary engine. The rotary engine is radically different from conventional piston powered internal combustion engines. In a rotary engine a triangular 'rotor' spins inside a cylinder performing the intake, compression, combustion and exhaust duties all by itself. The RX-7 had two such rotors.

Because of the nature of this rotation, some earlier generation RX-7's with high miles suffered from premature internal engine wear. However by the time the 1992 - 1996 RX-7 came into being this problem had been rectified, and the car is a firm favorite among enthusiasts and racers due to its natural good looks and impeccable handling characteristics.
