The Mazda RX-7 Saru refers to a special, limited edition of the iconic Mazda RX-7 sports car, which was produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s. The RX-7 itself is renowned for its use of the unique rotary engine, which distinguishes it from many other cars. However, the RX-7 Saru was not a mainstream model but rather a special trim that was given a unique character in terms of styling and equipment.
The Saru trim of the RX-7 was a special edition introduced in the early 1990s, particularly within the Japanese domestic market (JDM). The name "Saru" roughly translates to "monkey" in Japanese, which could refer to the car’s playful, energetic character or its limited run as a more exclusive model.
The Saru Edition typically featured unique visual elements to differentiate it from standard RX-7 models. This included special badging, limited edition colors, and unique interior details.
Like many special edition cars, the RX-7 Saru was produced in limited numbers, which makes it more of a collector's item today. It’s considered part of the JDM enthusiast culture, with special variants of the RX-7 being highly sought after by car collectors and rotary engine fans.
The RX-7, and particularly the FD-generation RX-7, is often regarded as one of the greatest Japanese sports cars ever made.
While the RX-7 Saru was a limited and relatively rare edition, the RX-7’s overall legacy has lived on in motorsport and pop culture. The RX-7 is a popular car in drifting, car meets, and modding culture.
