Mazda RX-7 (FC3S)

The Mazda RX-7 (FC3S) was introduced in October 1985, seven years after the launch of the original RX-7, the fully redesigned second generation model. The development team wanted to build a sports car to surpass Porsche. They aimed for "the perfect sports car that exists within everyone's heart - a sports car for a liberated adult".

The new RX-7 was more upmarket than its predecessor, with higher quality levels and a flowing and dynamic design. The 13B engine featured an air cooled twin scroll turbocharger. The independent rear suspension was specially developed for optimal handling and stability when cornering.

FC3S
The "FC3S" edition was released on November 20th, 2012, and is the third variation of the RX-7 to be released in Need for Speed: World and the oldest. The FC3S edition features race-tuned Performance Parts, 2-star Skill Mods and aftermarket parts as well as an unique "FC3S" license plate. The car is also part of the World Vintage Series.

White
The "White" edition was released on November 11th, 2014 as part of the IGC rotation. It comes with no pre-equipped performance parts or skill mods.

Overall Performance
The Mazda RX-7 (FC3S) has a stock top speed of 255 km/h (158 mph) which is very high for a Class D car. The acceleration is good but because of the short powerband that the RX-7 has, it can be difficult to reach the top speed of the RX-7. The nitrous output on this vehicle is also weak. Its handling is good and sharp. However, its steering is looser than the FD. Without any proper braking, the car may slide uncontrollably and fishtail.

Trivia

 * The FC in World was an AWD vehicle instead of RWD until January 23rd, 2013. Also, it has a sixth gear that isn't present on the real car.
 * This FC present in World is the first generation RX-7 FC3S, not the second generation.
