The Pan Speed Mazda RX-7 built for speed
Pan Speed may be resident lap record holders at the Tsukuba track, but that was with the RX-8, this time it is the chance of the RX-7 some people believe that today’s modern cars are not a scratch on the older models.
Pan Speed are experts in the field of body conversion and technical improvements, so if you put that into the equation coupled with the excellence of the Mazda RX-7, that would mean that you have a winner, wouldn’t it?
This is a racing machine and unlike a modified car, there are subtle differences between them, the first being that this car is hardly going to be used to get to work and back, well not all of the time anyway. Secondly, the Pan Speed car is built for racing from the ground up; everything has been designed for speed.
