The Savanna RX-7 was developed under the simple theme of "pursuit of driving pleasure." Its 12A two-rotor rotary engine (130 hp) was mounted in a front-midship layout that enabled the RX-7 to exhibit outstanding handling stability. The Savanna RX-7 was the only Japanese car at the time to feature popup headlights, which reduced air resistance. It came in a range of five exterior body colors and featured a T-shaped instrument panel, a large, highly-visible three-ring meter cluster and bucket seats. Measuring 4,285mm (overall length) x 1,675mm (overall width) x 1,260mm (overall height), it had room for four occupants and managed a turning circle of 4.8 meters. The five-speed manual transmission model recorded a quarter mile (400m) time of 15.8 seconds and a top speed of 180km/h. The price range included 1,230,000 yen for the Custom model, 1,370,000 yen for the Super Custom, 1,440,000 yen for the GT, and 1,690,000 yen for the Limited grade (an automatic transmission cost an extra 40,000 yen).
