Let’s look at the specifications again. First of all, the exterior is interesting, but in an age when wider cars are the norm, the stock-style narrow body is a novelty. It can be said that the Savannah RX-7 has been built to make the most of its originality.

The original aero kit consists of a front bumper, sleek lights, under panels, side steps, rear wing, and aero mirrors. The shape has been finished to retain the “character” and “presence” of those days.

As for the engine, the 12A rotary engine was replaced with a 13B rotary engine. The turbocharged engine was a TD06-25G turbine, RE Amemiya SPL intercooler, and an RX-8 3-layer racing radiator installed. The exhaust system, exhaust manifold and muffler are all made by Powercraft.

The drivetrain has been strengthened in line with the increased power, with the transmission docked to a 6-speed manual transmission for the RX-8 after a minor change, an ORC twin-plate set for the clutch, and a Mazdaspeed differential to give the car more room to run.

Unlike in the past, the standard tuning today is to a specification that allows all-around driving enjoyment. The style that focused on one stage in particular is a distant memory. However, with memories of the past, we want to enjoy the atmosphere of the cars of those days again, albeit with different specifications. The Savannah RX-7 presented to us by RE Amemiya this time seems to have been displayed with this intention in mind.
