Time Micro 1/64 Mazda RX7 RE Gold Chrome

The FD-generation of the Mazda RX-7, particularly the later RE Amemiya-tuned versions, stands as a mesmerizing testament to rotary engineering and Japanese sports car design. Its sleek, aggressively curved profile—devoid of harsh lines or distracting aerodynamic appendages—established it as one of the most beautiful vehicles of the 1990s, a flowing masterpiece that still turns heads decades later.

Beneath that stunning shell, however, lay the complex brilliance of the sequential twin-turbo 13B-REW rotary engine. Delivering exhilarating, linear power that belied its small displacement, the twin turbos worked in concert to minimize lag and launch the lightweight chassis toward its high redline with a distinct, visceral scream. More than just raw speed, the RX-7 offered razor-sharp handling and perfect balance, cementing its status not only as a JDM icon but as a pure driver’s machine whose legend continues to grow.
