A 1993 Mazda RX-7 FD was a car driven by Dominic Toretto in The Fast and the Furious.
The Fast and the Furious
Dominic Toretto drove a red 1993 Mazda RX-7 FD in the race with Brian O'Conner, Danny, and Edwin. During the race, Brian in his Mitsubishi Eclipse tries to gain the advantage by using nitrous but Dominic uses his nitrous as well and easily beats him. When the police arrive everyone flees: Dominic drives away his RX-7 to a parking garage and parks the car before fleeing on foot. Dominic apparently retrieved the car because it is seen at Dominic's house when Dom drives Brian to see his Dodge Charger and again at Race Wars near Dom's trailer. A white RX-7 is seen driven by another racer who Letty races against at Race Wars.
Production Notes
This FD was designed after a Keith Imoto car, and originally came with a roll cage. Unfortunately, Diesel couldn't fit into the car with the roll cage, so it had to go. It had a stock twin-turbo 255hp engine with 4-bottle NOS system, stock suspension, and aluminum struts. Appearance mods include VeilSide USA Aero bodykit, RX-7 GT rear wing, Lexan headlight covers, and VeilSide rims.
