Was it Mazda, Savanna, or Infini??



I was of the understanding that Mazda made RX-7's worldwide. Now I am being tild that only in the US was the name Mazda used. In Japan all RX-7's were badges Infini RX-7's. I think that is total B.S.



I always thought Infini was an after tuner like AMG or Ruff is to Mercedes and Porche.



Someone that has been in Japan care to shed some light on this?

I've seen Rx7 S4 and S5 with Efini badges on the front guards just behind the front wheels. There's a white one next to us that's stock with those badges.

So in Australia there is an Infini badge instead of a Mazda badge?



How about Japan?? Anyone from Japan want to add to this?

I've seen Mazda on the FC's, but I think the FD's all have Infini on them.. but I'm not sure as most of the people over here take off the badges.

Infini was only a special model. Efini is the name FD's were sold under for several years. Savannah is what FB's and FC's were sold under. Sometimes they also had Mazda on them.

Yeah, I agree w/4RR, I thought Savanna was on the FCs and Efini was on the FDs, then something about an Infini RS which was a post 1996 model? I dunno, somebody correct me, I'm probably wrong.

The FB in japan was the SA22c, it was sold under Savannah. The FC was sold under Savannah but there were some sold under Mazda. There is an Infini line for the 2nd generation. The infini III was the most sold, with a little over 1100 units. Efini was a chain of car dealerships in japan with exclusive rights to sell the FD in japan. The infini IV was the last made, in 91. It had basically no options, but it did have a more free flowing exhaust that gave it 15 or so hp, and did have a torsen type LSD. If anyone wants i can elaborate on the Infini IV.
