The car in the image is a heavily modified second-generation Mazda RX-7 (FC3S generation), produced between 1985 and 1991. This specific vehicle is built in a classic Japanese Shakotan / Stance style and is pictured inside a parking garage. It features a deep metallic cherry-burgundy paint job, a low-hanging aftermarket aero body kit with extended side skirts and a matching front bumper, 5-spoke split wheels, and a highly aggressive drift alignment with extreme steering lock and negative camber on the front wheels. Key Facts About the Mazda RX-7 (FC) The Rotary Heart (13B): Unlike almost every other sports car of its era, the RX-7 does not use a traditional piston engine. Instead, it is powered by Mazda's famous 13B Wankel rotary engine. Top-tier Turbo II models paired this compact, high-revving 1.3-liter dual-rotor design with a turbocharger to deliver between 182 and 202 horsepower from the factory. Porsche-Inspired Styling: When Mazda design teams were engineering the FC generation in the mid-1980s, they heavily studied the Porsche 924 and 944. This influence is clearly visible in the car's sleek, wedge-shaped silhouette, smooth fastback glass profile, and distinctive pop-up headlights (which are popped up halfway in the photo). Extreme Steering Angle Geometry: Look closely at the front wheel—it is turned sharply and pushed outward at a dramatic parallel angle. This is achieved through a specialized drift steering angle kit (modifying the steering knuckles and control arms). It provides the driver with massive steering lock, making it much easier to hold and recover from extreme sideways angles during high-speed drifting. DTSS (Dynamic Tracking Suspension System): From the factory, the FC RX-7 featured a highly advanced passive rear-wheel steering setup called DTSS. Under gentle driving, it kept the wheels straight, but under hard cornering, it mechanically introduced a slight toe-in to stabilize the car. In dedicated drift cars like this one, drivers almost always install solid aluminum DTSS-delete bushings to lock the rear geometry for predictable sliding. Pop Culture & Motorsport Icon: The FC RX-7 is a legendary titan in drift history. It achieved massive global pop-culture fame as the signature white car driven by Ryosuke Takahashi (leader of the Akagi RedSuns) in the iconic street racing manga and anime series Initial D, cementing its legacy as one of the ultimate JDM sports cars. @cylo____ #japandomesticmarket #car #jdm #viral #mazda - @tqs_stn
