The seller offers for sale this 1988 Mazda RX-7 Cabriolet, powered by a 1.3-litre twin-rotor Wankel engine with turbocharging, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Producing 200 hp from its compact twin-rotor 13B engine, this second-generation RX-7 is presented in its factory cabriolet body style, complete with a folding soft top for open-top motoring. The car wears its original red paintwork over a black interior and shows 110,000 km on the odometer. The seller reports the rotary engine and turbocharger system as generally reliable, though the car may benefit from some maintenance and light mechanical attention going forward.

Introduced in 1985, the second-generation RX-7, known internally as the FC, moved the model upmarket with a more sophisticated chassis, pop-up headlights and a choice of naturally aspirated or turbocharged versions of Mazda’s compact rotary engine. A cabriolet version joined the range partway through production, giving buyers the option of open-top motoring without sacrificing the FC’s balanced, front mid-engine chassis and eager handling. The turbocharged cars, badged Turbo II in some markets, were among the quickest Japanese sports cars of their day, prized then and now for the smooth, high-revving character that only a Wankel rotary engine can deliver. As one of a relatively small number of factory cabriolets built, this RX-7 offers a distinctive and increasingly scarce take on Mazda’s rotary sports car heritage.
