The Mazda RX-7 is a Japanese sports car built by Mazda from 1978 to 2002 and is best known for its lightweight body and rotary Wankel engine. That engine gives the car its distinctive high revving sound, which has made RX-7 clips popular in JDM culture, street racing videos and car enthusiast communities online. Short engine recordings like this one circulate on soundboards because they capture the car's character in a few seconds and can be reused easily in edits, memes and automotive montages without needing full track footage.
