Mazda will sell a two-car 1/64 die-cast set of the FC3S Savanna RX-7 driven by Ryosuke Takahashi and the FD3S Efini RX-7 driven by Keisuke Takahashi, the company announced. Sales start Saturday, October 3, 2026 at 9:00 AM at the MAZDA ONLINE SHOP and MAZDA FAN FESTA 2026 at FUJI SPEEDWAY, with dealership orders from Thursday, October 8. The set costs 11,000 yen.
The set packages a white FC3S Savanna RX-7 and a yellow FD3S Efini RX-7 in 1/64 die-cast, with the two cars offset and angled to suggest a mountain pass run. The box art shows a mountain road in morning light, and the cars can be displayed inside it. Mazda puts the price at 11,000 yen including tax, and the product marks the company's 60th anniversary in May 2027 of the Cosmo Sport, its first mass-production rotary-engine car.
