Fd Rx-7 Stats. How Many Got Sold
#1
Here are the stats for the FD RX-7 sales for those that wanted to know. Straight from Mazda Japan.
Series-6.........( Oct-91 - Dec-95 ) = 45,596
Series-7.........( Jan-96 - Nov-98 ) = 09,754
Series-8.........( Dec-98 - Aug-02 )= 12,951
FD RX-7 total...............................= 69,301
This is total sales for export & domestic versions..............
Sounds a lot until you learn Mazda did 811,000 RX-7s in total.
The series-6 was exported through out the world, (hence its higher sales figures).
The series-7 was Japan & Australia only
The series-8 was Japan only.
Best sales year was 1992...........26,899. Released onto the world stage that year.
Biggest contrast was 1993...........6,801. Approximately a 75% drop in sales. That signed the (export) death warrant for the end of the series-6 production run.

thats a huge drop between series 6 and series 7, but then again, more cars are probably bought in the US than any other country in the world by far

Yeah, the FD's high price relative to the previous models and a small recession in the early 90's kinda killed it.
Plus people started hearing about it's reliabiliy problems.
Hopefully the RX8 will do well and they'll do a new RX7. I heard that may put the new renesis rotary engine in the Miata in 2005. I'll be all over that!

they sold slightly under 14,000 in the US from 1993-1995
No left hand drive S-7 or S-8 cars where done.
Just over 10,000 "92" models sold in the U.S. Dropped to around 3,000 in 93. I think the 95 models did just 411. (Struggling with the memory here!!!)
Wanna know something really scary. Only 122 where sold in Oz back in 92 @AUD$73k
1992 was the S-6's best year down under too...........
