Philip Sohn has always had a passion for rotary engine cars. He believes the third generation Mazda RX-7 is one of the best rotary-powered vehicles ever produced, and has owned at least ten of these beauties over the years. He has owned this particular RX-7 for the past twelve years and has been tracking it for the past couple years. Some modifications included in this RX-7 are a custom bumper designed by Sohn himself, Defi iPad cluster set-up, 13B-REW combined with Cosmo 13B-RE upper and lower intake set-up, and Volk Racing TE37RT wheels wrapped in Toyo Tires R888. He also has plans to add a Borg Warner EFR 8473 internal wastegate and convert to a single turbo setup.
