2001 Mazda RX-7 Type RB S-Package (FD3S) — Blue Metallic

2001 is late in the FD3S run, which makes this a Series 8 car, and Type RB S-Package is the road-focused grade with the 255 PS tune of the 13B-REW. Blue Metallic over 143,300 km, five-speed manual, rear-wheel drive. Torque is 294 Nm from the 1,308 cc twin-turbo rotary, two 654 cc rotors.

The mileage is on the higher side, and we'd rather say that plainly than dress it up. What that number bought the previous owner was a late FD in a colour that isn't the red everyone pictures, with the RB S-Package spec that suits regular road use better than the stiffer grades. This one had clearly been driven regularly, and it came through us as a two-door coupe with the engine, gearbox and drivetrain it should have. If you want an FD to actually use, this is the grade, and Blue Metallic is a good way to have it.
