History of the Mazda RX-7 in Need for Speed

- Today I can present you yet another car history video, which I have been working on for a week. After my pretty successful Supra video unfortunately not quite as many people were interested in the McLaren F1. This time we are back in Japan though with the fan favorite Mazda RX-7. Let's see if this car will excite people equally much as the Supra did. :)
Do you remember in which of the 21 NFS games the RX-7 was featured? Test your knowledge about the Need for Speed series and find out by watching this video. Feel free to pause at the question marks if you want to ask yourself first before seeing the answer. Note that the timeline will only list the games that include the car, so watch the video first if you don't want to be spoiled.
In each game that includes the car I have recorded one short race or event. As usual I have selected the clips very carefully and deliberately and for some of them I have recorded for multiple hours to get the runs as clean and interesting as possible. I tried to show a nice variety of gameplay, featuring racing, drifting, drag and a bit of police. I have also included the awesome car showcase from NFS 1 with some information about the car at the end.
Timeline:

34:08 Summary - Which NFS games have a Mazda RX-7?
34:49 Bonus - TNFS SE Car Showcase
38:44 Bloopers
The Mazda RX-7 is included in the same Need for Speed games as the Toyota Supra and also in NFS Payback, so overall it can be found in 13 of the 21 games.
In Need for Speed Underground 1 it was actually the strongest car in the game in every mode except of drift, so it was used very much by the competitive players in that game.
In Underground 2 it was still a decent drag car and in NFS Carbon it was used by the career mode character Kenji.
In NFS ProStreet the RX-7 was one of the cover cars with its famous green Battle Machine livery, which returned in several later games as you can see in this video.
In The Run there are several versions of the car, with some of them being part of the fastest tiers. However, there aren't very good challenges for those tiers, so I rather showed the tier 2 version here.
In Payback the car was not available at release but it was later added as one of the abandoned cars that could be found on the map.
Note that this is meant to be a positive video celebrating an awesome car that was included in a large number of NFS games. If you want to hate on certain games or complain about the car not being included in some, then do it elsewhere.
This is the third car history video that I have personally uploaded and the 6th in total among the group of friends that I am doing these videos with. Make sure to watch all the other videos as well if you want to support this series and want to see more videos in it. So far the views that the videos got have varied a lot, in some cases going above 100k but in others not even reaching 10k. This is not really warranted because all of the videos took a lot of work and cover interesting cars. Here you can find the full playlist: • One car in many differ...
The Skyline and Supra videos have done great but the others are lagging behind a bit, so I recommend having a look at those in particular to help them catch up a bit. :)
Make sure to watch the other videos of the playlist as well!
ruclips.net/p/PLlk-blXREIdglRflxULSZamHfl9_-VGjy
Especially the Evo video got almost no views so far. Surely there are some Evo fans here as well?
Paragleiber (Gleiber) dam this is great excited to watch the rest
nfs the run you didn't beat my time my time was 1:18.63 with a bmw 1 series coupe
oh fuck. i missed the evo video? I'm an evo fan, but 55 minutes is like a whole movie ;)
Can you tell me how you have that amount of money in NFS world?
the Mazda rx7’s dom on fast and furious in need for speed 2015 27:26
25:52 lol, nice "tactics" buddy.
Haha, yeah. But as you can see in the bloopers it is actually not as dumb as it seems. :D This guy constantly crashed into the traffic there but quite often he pushed the traffic car exactly into my path. It was actually a bit of a challenge to get past there, lol.
Francisco Hernandez his tactics were to hit every single car there
also know as shingo tactics
it's very rare for something like this to make me suddenly burst out laughing. That was amazing
XDD
90% of car sounds in Carbon are screeching tires.
ironic, since it's literally impossible to do a good drift free roaming without the use of cheat engine or third party programs
Another amazing compilation! I love how you even care about little details like picking race tracks from the same country as the car that you are showing. Some other RUclipsrs who do these types of videos just record some random runs but you really put a lot of thought into it. The close finishes, the traffic dodges... really great!
Also amazing driving skill in NFS Underground, Most Wanted and Carbon! You are really a master in these older games with grip handling. I wonder if even MSWGR could beat you there.
Thanks for the kind words. :)
Sometimes I am actually wondering if me caring about all those small details is even worth the effort because most people never notice them anyway. In my Drag video everyone noticed the train crash (which I included on purpose of course) but there are other videos where I included some interesting moments and nobody ever commented on them. I am happy to hear that you noticed the tracks from the country of the car. That gives me some hope that my attention to detail might be worthwhile after all. :)
And yeah, Underground, Most Wanted and Carbon are some of the games that I am best at. It's because I played them in leagues and tournaments back when they were new and practiced a lot for those. And in Underground the RX-7 was even the best car, so in that game I already drove it for hundreds of hours before making this video.
I love the sound of the RX8 and RX7 in NFS Carbon it just sounds so good
Damn I sure miss semi realistic handling :(
No love for Undercover's Battle Machine? Pulling away from a Veyron on the freeway in that was always hilarious.
Because the game in itself was pure cancer.
Light-weight, powerful and shapely, The RX-7 is a Driver's car, that's also a treat for the eyes
The world's only Wankel powered sports car boost 255 Horse-power and a curb weight of just 2850 pounds, making it the lightest of the group.
Everybody talks about NFS most wanted 2005, Underground, Carbon, but almost no one talks about NFS Prostreet
LOL THAT ENDING!! "UH THIS ISN'T WORKING, GONNA TRY SOMETHING ELSE, STAND BY!" *officer sacrfices himself and an innocent truck driver to stop a single street racer* 38:46
Well it did work, he ended up crashing.
😂😂😂
Not once but twice 😂😂
And here we have next amazing compilation of next amazing car :D as always amazing job Gleiber!
Im always happy to see carbon and mw here cause they are my fav nfs`s and You are the best player in both of them. :)
Man those drag races in underground 2 were so epic
6:42 he took the L so bad
25:52
38:46 xD
Bonus is Point!!
Thanks for sharing precious history for RX-7!
Oh snap! I had no idea the battle machine rx7 was in The Run!
your driving skill in underground and most wanted is insane! i never saw those types of handling before
Rotary Heart
Am I the only one that saw the Aki Kimura board in shift? Right here 16:40
That's a damn good easter egg right there
Pro street track, that's why I suppose, but nice find
NemisisDL no I saw it too before you xd
NemisisDL Autopolis is in Shift one with Prostreet’s assets but in better HD.
Long live the king.
What a satisfying vid
Great as usual
Thanks! Did you also watch the McLaren one? For some reason it got only half the views as this one. ruclips.net/video/TLruBoDDPPc/видео.html
All the RX-7 was pretty much about it's responsive handling and lightweight body with quick acceleration. Great drift car and if tuned properly also looks nice, especially with those headlights. My favorite car pretty much in the NFS series.
I miss the old days of NFS when there's still a car showcase feature, the last NFS game with car showcase is HP2010
Hyper Vanilo hp2010 🔥
and also NFS 2015 it has something similar, but its just an description table and without any narrator to describe..
That gears in NFS 2015 just give me cancer...
6th completely useless and goes up to 8, 9?
I miss the good times when NFS WAS GOOD...Semi realistic is the way to go!!
DD dorsett The Ford GT GTE I prefer Forza Horizon over Motorsport! But luckly we have these, otherwise we wouldnt have any decent arcade racing games on the market...!
Tiago because ea isnt ea anymore they completely shut down the lne of best racing game company(ea black box)
On top of just sounding like shit, which they suddenly also god incredibly terrible at......MW2012 had engine sounds played perfectly especially on cars like Lexus LFA......and then they just fucked it up in NFS2015, payback is really bad too tho not as bad as 2015
@@Ridiona more like the first main curse of the series; Ricerground fanboys who NEVER played the pre-ug Games and they self-proclaimed "true fans" or "OG fans" when they nothing but cancerous nostalfag posers that think NFS was an cheesy-ass Rice & Furious ripoff.
When i heard Need for speed world, I was smilling :)
*Your skills... UMMMMMMM.. R AMAZING*
NFS always gets rx7 customization wrong, they have originlabs and rocket bunny and that's about it. But they never having companies like RE Amemiya, or FEED, with good rx7 stuff.
One of my favourite cars in racing games. Gorgeous little beast. Wish I can afford a real one.
I can understand you are a player against flashy visual effects, but dam, undercover just simply looks worse than the UG2 without them. :O Could you please reconsider about it?
Insane rotation
9:21: the soundtrack give me the 2006 NFS Vibes
Top work as usual👌
Thanks! I have released some new videos in this series now. Maybe you would enjoy those ones too. :)

I like that some of the games brought back the colour scheme on the rx7 from the Pro Street trailers.
Your driving is incredible

@@Paragleiber ill check them!
You forgot RX7 from NFS Edge/OL 😏
13:26 Best colour ever made! *:D*
That GT1 sound made me happy
Wow your driving is on point.

A Legend
Now a history of Porsche 911 (one of it's generations) would be cool, because:
- 911 is cool and had appeared quite a few times in the history of the series, listed below
- G-body had appeared in at least the Porsche 2000, HP2010, MW2012, NFS2015, NFS World, possibly NFS The Run (Carrera RSR?) and NFS Payback
- 964 was a thing however only in Porsche 2000 iirc
- 993 had appeared in TNFS, High Stakes, Porsche 2000, MW2012 (not sure here), Payback and 2015
- 996 was a thing in Porsche 2000, Hot Pursuit 2, MW2005 and World
- 997 was a thing in MW2005, Carbon, ProStreet, Undercover, both Shifts iirc, HP2010, The Run (however that one was only beginning scene I think) and MW2012
- 991 appeared in The Run, MW2012, Rivals (not sure here, never played), 2015 and Payback
So, well, there's a bit of material to pick :P
A fan favourite car indeed
Nice vid!💪💪💪
Thanks! I now made one about the Lexus LFA as well. ruclips.net/video/chG65GG_s6k/видео.html
Back then the rice level was to damn high
Need for speed and initial d were the main reasons to why I like the RX7.
a true fan of need for speed,knows exactly all the cars that were present in the franchise
so never trust the ''fans'' who just played the: underground,underground 2 and most wanted 2005
You should share that drift tune for nfs payback lol. I thought I was good with the rx7 and met a couple who were sweaty but thats something else
Well he can't. He can share the speed cards though. He probably has Mad Drift angle on the RX-7. It's one of the best, if not the best drift car if you ignore the Hurucán. Light, nimble, may have a low horsepower rate but has a good weight so it can be quick in a power ratio.
Holy shit I didnt know the prostreet FD was hiding in the paintjobs in the run !!!
I see rotary, i press like 👍
Is that Kyoko's RX-7 from Initial D 3:10 !?
Ammar Hasan I think yes
its similar.
Ammar Hasan is he using a mod for the look, or can you get that color naturally?
Kyoko has RE Amemiya with MazdaSeed wing
#SingleTurboSingleLife
RX 7 is the favorite's car in childhood
Remember when the supra and mazda rx-7 were the stars of the show?
6:00 who remember 🎵Riders On The Storm🎵 😍😍 luv that song
so perfect timing can get you a lot of cash and all the best cars
I also hate the typical NSF bodykits that everyone throws on every car making it look horrible, but its NFS so im not surprised xd
my fav car all the time
6:24
*What have they done to the Corolla!?*
Graphics in underground still looks amazing
Hands down, best car
They should put the base model RX-7 Type R from 93 as well as the Type RZ and Spirit R FDs
24:00 why the f this game soundtrack sounds like a call of duty main menu song
I swear the graphics look more realistic back then
Rx7 FD3S is the best^^
3:32 nfsu turned the rotary engine 2 into 3
Yeah Mazda RX7 cool car!
Kenji's car was lit back then
RX 7 Prostreet in Payback Is STILL COOL TILL TODAY
My NFS Favorite Car :)
Keisuke takahashi's rx7 fd is in nfs payback
This is my favorite car in the nfs series
When i was a kid i didn't know that the rx-7 was a old car
I wish the rx7 was in Most Wanted 2012, would’ve made it 1000x more enjoyable, if only the game wasn’t rushed :/ along with other JDM icons, it would’ve been the greatest :c
I made a video about the Lexus LFA now. At least that one is in there. :) ruclips.net/video/chG65GG_s6k/видео.html
Is only in one game that we can use the Mazda RX7 FC model?????
3:49 F1 V6 Vacuum Cleaner....
25:21 go go go go go!
23.19 RX7 model look like Keisuke fd in INITIAL D fifth stage
We have come along way. It does not sound like a RX7
Underground 1 looks like a new game
You did a video about the RX-7 in the NFS games and didn't put kenji's RX-7!! How dare you!!?
Just kidding, nice video
38:47 We get the suspect at all cost!
Aaa, the ricers age...what a memories
Gucci Hucci the most rice game is nfs undergroud 2 if you know
12:32 why does that blow off valve sound like someone sneezing?
History of the Mazda RX-7 in Gran Turismo :)
Huh? What do you mean with that?
it went on to be Dom's Rx 7 in the original F&F
has anyone noticed how the redline for the RX-7 lowers to 7K as the games progress? real life RX-7s can go to 11k when tuned, should be the case in the games also...
Panie Stefanie, czy Pan jest z polski? R U from Poland?
6:44 RIP😂😂😭
Being asked if there is a Mazda RX-7 in Need for Speed Porsche is some Dora level shit
From this video I understand that NFS Underground ia the Best game EVER.....who is agree?
The ps2 undercover was the best undercover.
Funny how that old game has 1st person and the latest game hasn't
Some fucking rotary gang will be exited
#RotaryeXperimental7
Finished Underground Mode for the first time with this car, I don't regret it one bit.
I HAVE MAZDA RX-7 ON GAME NFS UNDERGROUND THAT ALL MAXXED,AND A NEED FOR SPEED CARBON ON MAXXED TOO I HAVE 4.6M MONEY
The FC is a RX7, why u not add that?
Next Nissan Skyline or 180/200SX?
God i miss NFS World
Please can you tell me how you play the old NFS games(1, 2,3,underground) on your PC because on mine don't want to work and I want to play underground so badly?
For NFS 1 you need the SE version and then you can use this tutorial: ruclips.net/video/krWFr1otYJU/видео.html
With Underground I didn't need to do anything special though. It just worked naturally. In what way is it not working for you?
Paragleiber (Gleiber) First thank you very much and second when I finish a race on underground my game crashing and it says: "NFS Underground stopped working" That is my problem with the game
I never had that problem with Underground, so unfortunately I can't help with that.
Paragleiber (Gleiber) No problem, thank you for answering me
How do you drift that good in nfs payback I can't even get that much
Which car are you using? Not every car can drift equally well. The best car for drifting is the Huracan.
Maybe you could leave the cars stock for videos so you can compare the performance and looks
It would be one possible way to do such a video but it's not the one that I want to go for.
Paragleiber (Gleiber) okay
RX7 should’ve been in MostWanted(2012)
xxCMP05x x the Hero pack for MW 2012 would be a bit more worth it than
*NFS Most Wanted 2005* and
*NFS Carbon* is the best.
Whats the best sound between all the nfs shown (i want straight facts)
