Product Description
The RX-7, a legendary Le Mans car representing Japan.
[About the actual vehicle]
The Mazda RX-7 253 was the car that competed in the 1981 24 Hours of Le Mans race.
Based on the popular Mazda RX-7 rotary-engined sports car, it was modified and entered in the IMSA-GTO class.
The aerodynamically optimized body was designed by Takuya Yura.
It was characterized by its long, flowing ducktail style.
A rotary engine is housed in the front of that body.
It is equipped with a 13B rotary engine with 654cc x 2 rotors.
The factory-spec version from Mazda headquarters produced 300 horsepower.
Two cars were entered in the race. They qualified in 49th and 51st place.
Unfortunately, they had to retire from the final race, but they did give a glimpse of the rotary engine's capabilities against the world's best.
[About the model]
This is a 1/24 scale plastic model assembly kit that recreates the Mazda RX-7 253 that competed at Le Mans in 1981.
The body realistically reproduces an aerodynamic design.
The flowing form with a ducktail design is a highlight of the model.
Furthermore, the interior, including the roll bar and dashboard, realistically models the spartan atmosphere unique to a racing machine.
The markings adorning the body will recreate the car number 38 driven by Yojiro Terada, Win Hershey, and Hiroshi Mibunakoda.
This is a must-have for Japanese modelers.
