The third and final generation of the RX7, FD were outright, no-compromise sports cars by Japanese standards. They featured an aerodynamic, futuristic-looking body design (a testament to its near 11-year lifespan). The 13B-REW was the first-ever mass-produced sequential twin-turbocharger system to export from Japan, boosting power to 255 PS (188 kW; 252 hp) in 1993 and finally 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) by the time production ended in Japan in 2002.

• Series 6 cars (1992-1995) were exported throughout the world and had the highest sales. In Japan, Mazda sold the RX7 cars through its Efini brand as the Efini RX7. Cars in Japan included the Type R, the top-of-the-range Type RZ, the Type RB, the A-spec and the Touring X, which only came with a 4-speed automatic reducing power to 255 ps, but the other cars ran on the standard 265ps engine with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Only the 1993-1995 model cars were sold in the U.S. and Canada. The series 6 cars came with 255 PS (188 kW; 252 hp) and 294 N•m (217 ft•lbf). In the UK only 124 examples of this model were sold through the official Mazda network, Only one spec. was available and this included twin oil-coolers, electric sunroof, cruise control and the rear storage bins in place of the back seats.
• Series 7 cars (1996-1998) included some minor changes. Updates included a simplified vacuum routing manifold to the cars and a 16-bit ECU allowing for increased boost which netted an extra 10 PS (7 kW). In Japan, the Series 7 RX-7 was marketed under the Mazda brand name. The Series 7 cars were also sold in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Series 7 RX7's were produced only in right-hand-drive configuration.
• The series 8 cars(January 1999- August 2002) were the final series, and was only available in the Japanese market. More efficient turbochargers were installed in these cars, while improved intercooling and radiator cooling was made possible by a revised frontal area. The seats, steering wheel, and front and rear lights were all changed. The rear spoiler was modified and gained adjustability. The top-of-the-line "Type RS" cars came equipped with a Bilstein suspension and 17" wheels as standard equipment, and reduced weight to 1280 kg (2822 lb). Power was 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp), with 313.8 N•m (231 ft•lbf) of torque as per the maximum Japanese limit. The very limited edition Type RZ cars included all the features of the Type RS cars, but at a lighter weight (at 1270 kg). It also featured custom gun-metal colored BBS wheels and a custom red racing themed interior. Further upgrades to the cars included a new 16-bit ECU and ABS system upgrades. The improved ABS system worked by braking differently on each wheel, allowing the car better turning during braking. The effective result made for safer driving for the average buyer. Easily the most collectible of all the RX7's cars was the last 1,500 run-out specials. Dubbed the "Spirit R", they combined all the "extra" features Mazda had used on previous limited-run specials. They still command amazing prices on the Japanese used cars scene years later. Sticker prices when new were 3,998,000 yen for Type-A and B and 3,398,000 yen for Type-C cars.
