Matsukiyo Toki 3 Rotor NA-7 project became the best custom car at the Tokyo Motor Show

The car was developed by specialists from the RE Amemiya studio. The engineers took the iconic Mazda RX-7 sports car as a basis, for which they developed a new body almost from scratch, stylized as the Mazda Iconic SP concept, as well as the RX Vision prototype, presented ten years ago.

The tuners borrowed only the glazing and roof from the production Mazda RX-7. The front optics are used from the MX-5 roadster. The silhouette of the car is stylistically reminiscent of the Mazda Iconic SP project. In addition, the engineers visually lengthened the trunk lid due to the built-in spoiler, covered the body with carbon film, and also installed gold-colored wheels with reinforced calipers.

Under the hood of the sports car is a rotary engine, the output of which is 350 horsepower. The unit is paired with a six-speed manual transmission from the Mazda RX-8. The creators did not disclose the dynamic characteristics of their custom project, but emphasized that the Matsukiyo Toki 3 Rotor NA-7 is approved for public roads.

Late last year, Toyota was going to unveil a very black version of the RAV4 crossover at the Tokyo Motor Show. The project, called Dark Side Performance, was done in the style of science fiction.
