Mazda RX-7
Two generations of the RX-7 were sold throughout the 80s, including the first one up until the 1984 model year. It featured a unique, 1146-cc rotary engine that produced 100 horsepower, although the RX-7 GSL-SE boasted a 1308-cc engine with a little more power. The second-generation RX-7, available as a coupe and a convertible appeared for the 1986 model year, and it’s the Turbo II version that got our attention with 182 to 200 horsepower.
