Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

The second Type RZ appeared in October 1993 as part of the Version 2 FD3S, after the August 1993 refresh that softened the rear suspension and added rear stiffener bars. It was Mazda's most expensive FD3S version at the time and the smallest production run in the table, at 150 units. The FD3S itself went on sale in Japan in December 1991 under the Anfini (Efini) name.
