Mazda RX-7 – PPG Pace Car
Now painted orange, the RX-7 is part of Mazda’s Heritage Collection.
History
There’s not a lot of info on this one, but the car was repainted at some point from the purple/red/orange/yellow gradient to a metallic orange.
Specifications
The RX-7 also received OZ Racing 3-piece wheels to replace the painted cast wheels in the earlier side photo. Unlike most PPG Pace Cars, this one has a manual transmission. In a TFL Car video of the Mazda Heritage Collection, they said the engine made 350 HP.
Current Status
The RX-7 is part of Mazda’s Heritage Collection, located in Irvine, CA.
