[h3]MAZDA MX-5 (NA)[/h3]
The Mazda MX-5 NA, the first-generation Miata, has been a symbol of driving joy for over 30 years. Debuting in 1989 (1990 in Europe), it redefined the sports car market with its lightweight, agile, and affordable design.

Built on the "Jinba Ittai" philosophy—unity between driver and car—it delivers a pure driving experience with a short-ratio manual transmission, a perfectly balanced chassis, and iconic pop-up headlights.

Beloved in motorsport, from track racing to rallying, the Miata’s nimble handling and durability make it a top choice. Over the years, it has also become a pop culture icon, appearing in films, games, and music—a true legend on and off the road.

[h3]MAZDA RX-7[/h3]
The Mazda RX-7 is one of the most iconic Japanese sports cars, known for its lightweight design, sleek styling, and revolutionary rotary engine.

One of the RX-7’s biggest innovations came with the third-generation FD model (1992-2002), which featured the world’s first mass-produced sequential twin-turbocharged engine. This system reduced turbo lag and provided smooth power delivery, making the FD RX-7 one of the best-handling cars of its era.

Beyond the streets, the RX-7 gained fame in motorsports, including victories at the 24 Hours of Daytona and the IMSA GT Championship.

It also became a pop culture icon in films, anime, and video games.

[h3]MAZDA RX-8[/h3]
The Mazda RX-8, produced from 2003 to 2012, was the spiritual successor to the legendary RX-7 and the final production car to feature Mazda’s iconic Wankel rotary engine.

One of the RX-8’s standout features was its unique freestyle rear doors, which provided easier access to the rear seats while maintaining a sleek coupe design. This made it a rare four-seater sports car, blending practicality with performance.

It saw success in motorsports, competing in events like the Super GT and Nürburgring 24 Hours, and became a staple in car culture through various racing video games.

To ensure authenticity, we’ve meticulously scanned each model, capturing every detail and ensuring they look, feel, and drive as they should. From body lines to handling characteristics, we’re bringing the true spirit of these JDM classics to life.
