The Mazda RX-7 is a living motoring icon with a cult status that deserves to be remembered for that great motor (when nothing goes wrong) under the hood and the awesome driving credentials.
Some petrolheads have this model on their shopping list, whereas others have already purchased one. These rides usually feature quite a few mods, often with an emphasis on making them faster, and every once in a while, an example stands out due to the visual upgrades.
Case in point, meet one bad Mazda RX-7. This one was signed by Liberty Walk, and images of it were recently shared on social media by the tuner's founder with only a special caption that tells us it will be used to promote the Wired Music Festival 2024 in the United Kingdom – or is it the other way around?
That doesn't matter, as what those addicted to cars would want to know more about it, so we will delve into the aftermarket touches now, starting with the custom body kit. In plain Liberty Walk fashion, it is a widebody proposal that has made this rotary machine significantly more muscular than the stock one.

We can see the front and rear fender flares joined together by a set of fat side skirts. The bumpers were also reworked, and at the front, this vehicle sports a sizeable apron. A menacing diffuser is visible at the rear, alongside a giant wing mounted on the trunk lid. It is worth noting that this Mazda RX-7 sends Bosozoku vibes from certain angles, and that's a positive aspect for anyone who's into Japan's car customization culture.
Liberty Walk chose to give it a black finish all around, with stripes in red, orange, and light blue decorating it and providing some contrast. The tuner's logo can be seen on various components in the form of new decals, and it has even more design graphics all around in white. The wide and large alloys are part of the makeover, and so is the new adjustable air suspension that has turned it into a slammed ride in its lowest setting.
Certain pictures allow us to catch a glimpse of the interior, which sports red seats and numerous black touches. For what it's worth, we like the way this Mazda RX-7 was transformed, and since this is a Liberty Walk project, it probably does not feature any oily upgrades under the hood. What we're trying to say is that the engine was probably left stock unless another tuner took care of this aspect, as the Japanese company is not known for squeezing out more power from its builds.
So, do you also like this Japanese icon dressed in new duds? And would you choose a similar approach for yours if you had one? Head to the comments section below and speak your mind about it.
