Description[]
The Mazda RX-3 (Japanese: マツダ RX-3), also known as the Mazda Savanna (Japanese: マツダ サバンナ), was a compact sports coupe produced by Mazda Motor Corporation from 1971-1978 in Japan and was the predecessor to the Mazda RX-7; the car was essentially a rotary-engined version of the Mazda Grand Familia, with both cars being largely identical. The Hot Wheels casting portrays a racing-inspired modified RX-3 Coupe with internal roll cage, 3-piece rear wing, Katayama flares and a chevron-shaped front air dam with down-force tunnels on either side.
The 2021 Mainline and 2023 Car Culture: Team Transport releases of this casting are based on RX-3's owned by New Zealand drifting racer Mad Mike Whiddett.
