2012 Mazda RX 7 Luxury Excellent Concept
The first generation Mazda RX-7 were entered at the prestigious 24 hours of Le Mans endurance race. The first outing for the car, equipped with a 13B engine, failed by less than one second to qualify in 1979. The next year, a 12A-engine car not only qualified, it placed 21st overall. That same car did not finish in 1981, along with two more 13B cars. Those two cars were back for 1982, with one 14th place finish and another DNF. The Mazda RX-7 Le Mans effort was replaced by the 717C prototype for 1983. In 1991, Mazda became the first Japanese manufacturer to win the 24 hours of Le Mans. The car was a 4-rotor protor, the 787B. The FIA outlawed rotary engines shortly after this win. To this day the rotary powered Mazda is the only Japanese manufacturer to have ever won the prestigious 24 hour Le Mans race outright.
Mazda began racing Mazda RX-7s in the IMSA GTU series in 1979. That first year, Mazda RX-7s placed first and second at the 24 Hours of Daytona, and claimed the GTU series championship. The car continued winning, claiming the GTU championship seven years in a row. The Mazda RX-7 took the GTO championship ten years in a row from 1982. The Mazda RX7 -has won more IMSA races than any other car model.In the USA SCCA competition RX-7s were raced with great success by Don Kearney in the NE Division and John Finger in the SE Division. Pettit Racing won the GT2 Road Racing Championship in 1998. The car was a 93 Mazda RX-7 street car with only bolt-on accessories. At season end Pettit had 140 points 63 points more than the 2nd place team. This same car finished the Daytona Rolex 24-hour race 4 times.
The Mazda RX-7 also fared well at the Spa 24 Hours race. Three Savanna/RX-7s were entered in 1981 by Tom Walkinshaw Racing. After hours of battling with several BMW 530i and Ford Capri, the Mazda RX-7 driven by Pierre Dieudonné and Tom Walkinshaw won the event. Mazda had turned the tables on BMW, who had beaten Mazdas Familia Rotary to the podium eleven years earlier at the same event. TWRs prepared RX-7s also won the British Touring Car Championship in 1980 and 1981, driven by Win Percy.
The Mazda RX-7 is a sports car by the Japanese automaker Mazda. It was produced from 1978 to 2002. The original RX-7 featured a 1146 cc twin-rotor Wankel rotary engine and a sporty front-midship, rear-wheel drive layout. The Mazda RX-7 was a direct replacement for the RX-3 (both were sold in Japan as the Savanna) and subsequently replaced all other Mazda rotary cars with the exception of the Cosmo. The original Mazda RX-7 was a sports coupé. The compact and lightweight Wankel engine (rotary engine) is situated slightly behind the front axle, a configuration marketed by Mazda as "front mid-engine". It was offered as a two-seat coupé, with optional "occasional" rear seats in Japan, Australia, the United States, and other parts of the world. These rear seats were initially marketed as a dealer-installed option for the North American markets.
Mazdas singular goal for the third and final-generation Mazda RX-7 was to create a pure sports car. Launched in 1993, this Mazda RX-7 was still a rear-wheel-drive two-door coupe. Available in a single trim, it was powered by a 1.3-liter twin-turbocharged rotary engine that put out 255 horsepower and 217 pound-feet of torque.
The 1993-95 Mazda RX-7 proved to be an impressive all-around performer. It was light, agile and fast. Zero-to-60 times were in the 5-second range. The suspension was tuned for the track, and the RX-7 came with many high-performance features, including a limited-slip differential, four-wheel antilock disc brakes and a five-speed manual transmission. A four-speed automatic was available as an option. Through three generations, Mazda made sure that the Mazda RX-7 stayed on the cutting edge of design and performance, completely overhauling the car for each model change. Unfortunately, Mazda probably went too far with the final Mazda RX-7. Although it was beautiful to look at, the third generations overall no-compromise performance concept was too extreme, and the cars high price turned off many potential buyers.

2014 Jaguar XFR S is Fastest Jaguar Sedan Ever � 2012 L A
2014 Jaguar XFR-S is Fastest Jaguar Sedan Ever – 2012 L.A It was only a matter of time before the Jaguar XKR-S’ wilder visual and dynamic improvements made their way to other Jaguars, and now we’ve got the official details and photos. Debuting at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2014 Jaguar XFR-S is a 550-hp response to those who still associate the automaker with cars like the retro S-Type. The new XFR-S is the fastest Jaguar ever made, and with a $99,875 base price (including $875 for destination), one of the more expensive ones as well.

Now that the Jaguar XF lineup offers an eight-speed automatic transmission (as well as all-wheel drive), the 2014 XFR-S mates that ZF eight-speed unit to a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 with 550 hp. Acceleration from 0-60 mph is said to take 4.4 seconds — a 0.3-second improvement over the XFR — though we’d be surprised if those numbers aren’t conservative. Top speed is an electronically limited 186 mph. The 510-hp Jaguar XFR can be ordered with a Speed Pack that increases the top speed from 155 mph to 174 mph.
EPA-rated fuel economy on the 2014 Jaguar XFR-S is unchanged compared to the other two XF models powered by a supercharged V-8, at 15/23 mpg city/highway. There’s no gas guzzler tax, meaning the base price really is $99,875 for the 100 U.S.-market buyers who can get their hands on an XFR-S.
Plenty of design and performance changes distinguish the XFR from the XFR-S. As in the XKR-S, the XFR-S is rated at 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque, improvements of 40 hp and 41 lb-ft, respectively, from improvements to the intake and exhaust flow plus the ECU. Want to impress your XFR-owning friends? Take the XFR-S to a tunnel and open it up. The latest Jaguar XF benefits from a revised exhaust system and an intake with a symposer that sends induction sounds into the cabin.
Responses to throttle inputs are “significantly quicker,” and even on the most powerful Jaguar sedan ever, engine stop-start is standard equipment. Jaguar says the suspension stiffness and spring rates have increased by 30 percent front and rear.
“[The XFR-S] will feel engaging within the first 50 meters but remains accessible and confidence-inspiring at any speed,” said Mike Cross, Jaguar’s chief engineer of vehicle integrity, in a release.
Helping to make the most of these changes are wider tires, from Pirelli: 265/35R20s in front and 295/30R20 in back. The XFR-S wears forged 20-inch wheels available in full-gloss black and gray finishes and, you’ve probably noticed, a huge wing. If you want a more subtle look, Jaguar offers a smaller one, but that big wing does reduce lift by 68 percent.
The 2014 Jaguar XFR-S’ racier exterior treatment, with gloss black trim replacing the regular car’s chrome grille trim — will be available in four colors aside from French Racing Blue (pictured): Stratus Gray, Ultimate Black, Polaris White, and Italian Racing Red. Inside, there are plenty of choices, from carbon-effect leather on the seat bolsters and armrests to dark mesh aluminum trim. XFR-S cars will be available with contrasting stitching and micro piping that can be matched to the exterior paint color. Completed by an 825-watt, 18-speaker sound system, the Jaguar’s cabin should be a fine place to spend some time.
We were impressed by the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S’ sound in our First Test article, and when Randy Pobst drove the car on a track in our 2012 Best Driver’s Car competition, he found the car great for those who like drifting around corners, and we’d expect similar behavior from the 2014 Jaguar XFR-S, which goes on sale in the summer of 2013. With only 100 units coming to the U.S. market, we’re sure the car will sell out for those who like the XKR-S but need an extra set of doors.
