@@videorowtv5198 I thought about it, but although you can make them rubber, there's still the plastic, and that material will wear quite often. It's unfortunate, but if a new RX-7 came out today, it'll have Re amemiya style headlights
@@videorowtv5198 I dont know what you wrote there but the whole pop ups are completely banned due to safety.

i really like the redesign but i see your point. i'd wonder if exaggerating the curvature of those lines in the sharper version would help to keep the character
@@ndreyah1160 did it though? I know modded, they both look crazy similar. But they have always looked similar, even right back to the 78 corvette and the 79 RX7.
I love, love, LOVE how you kept the RX7 mostly the same, and just focused on adjusted a few things and modernizing only the specific pieces that actually needed it. The design is sharper but doesn't sacrifice the original's flavor. Wow.
I saw this video referenced on a website. The fact that it didn’t stand out as the finished product is a testament to how well you did. Car companies trying to preserve what made their cars iconic need to stick to the genes. This could easily be a body kit and looks damn clean.
actually, if Mazda ever releases something like this, even if it has a miata engine as an entry model, to compete with the supra 4 banger, and accessible to the most average enthusiast, keeping the whole body style of the FD for even modernize 90 parts, man this would be a hit. !!! jaja great desing man. cheers
Great desgn. The 2021 RX7 will probably have a Skyactiv 4 rotor naturally aspirated engine with over 550 horsepower, a 7 speed stick shift or DCT, weigh 2800 lbs and cost 90K.
WOW! I already think the original FD RX7 is one of the prettiest cars of all time, and you certainly did it justice! I hope that the next rotary sports car from Mazda looks similar to this! Well done!
can I give you a suggestion? would be soo amazing if you make the front and rear view, you could put it in separated videos, like part one and two, I really wanted see the front of this redesign rx-7...
Oh my! This car looks so good. The RX-5 only custom leds lighting and it's up to date, it has aged so well. Loved the your little tweaks, especially for a more track focused version. Do the front as well!
I think this generation of the RX-7 is gorgeous. It’s got a beautiful, sensuous shape and it has aged incredibly well, IMO. I don’t think it needs any improving.
1:50 I actually like rear windshield wipers regardless of whether it looks like was just pasted there or cleverly integrated in the design (think Range Rover with its upside down rear wiper).
Cool redesign! For the rear bumper I think the 2013 Viper kind of diffuser would keep the back a bit lower and just enough space for the licence plate :) Great content !
Looks really good👍 Just the harsh angle in the side window looks kinda strange and maybe even makes it look older? All in all a really well done modernization!
Epic redesign! The only thing I would change would be the door handles, they look really dated imo. I would add an R35 GTR or Lambo Huracan handle instead
Great video ! loved this. Would it be too much to ask for you to re design this from the front angle aswell ? finish off the whole look, i think you'd smash it. One thing on the rear i thought would modernise the car would be the removal of the body line of the rear hatch and it just be the glass piece that closes into the body with a fish tail for a boot at the end with the spoiler attached. Kinda like the new supras rear hatch. Anyway ! great vid , i hope you do the front angle !
You did a great job. I think the rear diffuser could be a little bit lower to the ground to be more aggressive and the spoiler still looks like it came out of the 90's but I really do like it.
Nice render, I firmly believe the FD is one of the best looking cars of all time so I wouldn't change anything about it at all, but this was a good modern view of it, really enjoyed!
Hey thesketchmonkey, can u do the front of the fd too? Its my favourite car ever and i like the result of the rear, it migh be kinda of a challenge to make the front since u have to take the popups off and put the new mazda graphics, also the clip of the black rx7 that u used is from here, portugal. Nice video
Thats looks sick wish they made something like that today. Speaking of 90s cars you should redesign the 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood that would be a super cool redesign
It's crazy that how this car aged so well, not just the engine is unique the body style that yells that it is a fd
The fd is timeless in design
It's just a timeless design that is up there with the Audi tt
The fact that the original concept was in 1988 makes it more amazing how well it has aged.
Exactly. He only hade to make minor changes to make it look super modern.
@@carsin60 the tt looks a lot more dated than the rx7
Dude you can make a body kit out of this
Yes
All thats needed is Time, patience and alot of Fiber glass
fuck Veilside and Rocket Bunny, all my homies use RE Amemiya, Border, and FEED Fujita Engineering
I am sending this to the kyza
@Ferlando Maheswara the bodykit for the fd, also the same ones used by Kyoko from Initial D 4th stage
The RX7 looked so ahead of its time
It still looks awesome to this day!
If it came out in 2010 I wouldn’t question it because of how it looks
@BASITH PH i see you everywhere-even drivetribe!
I hope he does a front redesign as well 😀
Ditto
Same
Support that! 👍
same, but lots of ppl will get triggered beacuse the pop ups will most likley go away if its going to be modern like this one
The dumb thing is no Pop up up and down Headlights because pEdEsTrIaN sAfEtY.....
I love how you added the modern elements without changing the emotion of the car.
Mission passed .......RESPECT
thank god he didn't have the opportunity to remove the popup headlights
You killed that redesign. IT LOOKS GORGEOUS! But now we need the front redesign 😂
Sadly no pop-up headlights
I would say it would look like a beefed-up, more aggressive ND mx5
Before I watch this video, DO NOT TOUCH THE POP UPS.
They would have to go tho :(
yup its illegal now /:

It's hard to redesign perfection, but you did a good job keeping it true to its form.
The RX7 is damn near perfect and nobody can improve upon it. Not even it's own creators.
In little words:Dream car.
Yea. Absolutely true
It can definitely improved upon but a beautiful car still
I get what your going for but those curves were what made the rx7 so special. I think flattening everything out makes it look much more generic.
i really like the redesign but i see your point. i'd wonder if exaggerating the curvature of those lines in the sharper version would help to keep the character
Its very generic...
It looks like a mash up of a corvette and a mercedes and im not sure im a fan of it
@@shanedussault740 keep in mind Corvette copied the styling of the rx7 first...
It's looks like a Charger on the rear with those lights and the vents like the Nissan GTR , I can't see the essence of the rx-7

It’s a very nice design overall, but where is the license plate supposed to go?
Hmm, your right, a license plate is supposed to be on every car but how do you even put a license plate on that?
In the back window like every other japanese car
To be honest, mazda should just make this as a limited edition or something!
If it wasn’t limited then everyone would have one.
75% of the people who say this actually wont buy one...
Would love to buy one if they ever revive it. But this time using their electric + rotary engine just like their MX-30
Mazda could just sell this car again without any changes at all and I would still want it. But you really kill it with the redesign here
That black fd is from my country, Portugal! Amazing work! Continue your vids! Big support from Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹
I'd love to see a first gen get this treatment.

No it won’t
Japanese sports cars from the 90’s were amazing ! The Z the 3000GT The Supra the NSX The integra what a great era !
That’s real legit man. The RX 7 deserves a comeback. Plz do the front next
Not a bad redesign but I still prefer the original. Wouldn’t change a thing on the FD
WOW! I already think the original FD RX7 is one of the prettiest cars of all time, and you certainly did it justice! I hope that the next rotary sports car from Mazda looks similar to this! Well done!
Really solid design man. It’s a perfect modernization of a jam legend
I still think the original is perfect. Maybe i'd subtly modernise the bumpers and the wheels but that's it
can I give you a suggestion? would be soo amazing if you make the front and rear view, you could put it in separated videos, like part one and two, I really wanted see the front of this redesign rx-7...
I want to see what he would do with the front bumper and lights, and honestly this looks so good compared to literally any 2015+ car. Good shit my guy
This would look so good as an actual bodykit
Interesting how the front quarter panel area now looks like a viper with that big sharp vent
Very tasteful redesign. Looks great.
modernize the e24, with a widebody and make it a dark green color cause that's my dream car
Loved this redesign..you totally brought it to the present but it definitely didn't loose it's personality
this redesign is nothing short of sensational ! one of your best up to date, maybe even the best.
We definitely need a front view
That Rx-7 at the beginning with the Portuguese number plate is looking good!
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
I was pretty worried when you started talking about melted cheese but you did well man. FD is bae
The RX-7 will always be beautiful
I love how it looks sporty and modern like a corvette while maintaining the structure of an original RX7
Been waiting for this for ages. So glad you did it, great to watch
The orignal is beautiful
I love it, the top part looks a bit like a Porsche 944. IDK why, maybe because of the flat roof?
i see it and now i can’t unsee it😂
Lol 😅
Oh my! This car looks so good. The RX-5 only custom leds lighting and it's up to date, it has aged so well.
Loved the your little tweaks, especially for a more track focused version. Do the front as well!
That design is Gorgeous. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mazda used that design as an inspiration for some RX7 revival.
DAMN the modern rx7 looks so good. Thx Sketchmonkey for another redesign
I don’t normally think redesigning an old car looks good. But man. The fd3s looks so modern anyway that this is a very clean design
That RX-7 in the beginning of the video is Portuguese btw :D
Please do a front redesign aswell🙏 It’s my favorite car ever! I’ve spent 3 years so far fixing my dads old rx7! It’s my hero car!
I think this generation of the RX-7 is gorgeous. It’s got a beautiful, sensuous shape and it has aged incredibly well, IMO. I don’t think it needs any improving.
I LOVE the rear windshield wiper!
Really nice piece of work.
This redesign has a lot of potential.
Thanks for uploading.

I absolutely love your work you are a talented artist I would so pay you to do a few redesigns and to create custom body kits designs
That is the coolest Mazda RX concept that I've ever seen I prefer this over the one we got in 2020
If they did an RX-7 refresh that looked like this, I would not hesitate to drop $50k on one. Great job man, it looks awesome!
This is a gorgeous reinterpretation of an icon; Well done.
Holy shit. I didn't think you could make it look that much better. That looks awesome!!!
The redesign we've all been waiting for
It looks great, please make the front redesign as well!
Looks really good👍
Just the harsh angle in the side window looks kinda strange and maybe even makes it look older? All in all a really well done modernization!
Nice Work! Love the rx7, and now love the new design.
I was wondering if you were going to sharpen up some creases on your redesign and sure enough. Looks really cool.👍
Please do a front redesign as well, love the look men!
U really kept the fd spirit in there, keep it up!
Liked this one! Perhaps the bottom door line should be more square and not the original long curve, but I'm not sure.
Man that's looks absolutely awesome. You are crazy talented my bro. They seriously need to hire you for all the jdm car updates
I think this is your best redesign ever ! I would pay a lot to won one
Epic redesign! The only thing I would change would be the door handles, they look really dated imo. I would add an R35 GTR or Lambo Huracan handle instead
If Mazda did this, and made a Reliable rotary, it would be insane. Please Mazda, BRING IT BACK!
Great video ! loved this.
Would it be too much to ask for you to re design this from the front angle aswell ? finish off the whole look, i think you'd smash it.
One thing on the rear i thought would modernise the car would be the removal of the body line of the rear hatch and it just be the glass piece that closes into the body with a fish tail for a boot at the end with the spoiler attached. Kinda like the new supras rear hatch.
Anyway ! great vid , i hope you do the front angle !
Further more haha notes on the modern front I think the bonnet would be replaced with a bigger clamshell design.
Thank you for the great videos. Enjoy watching them a lot. Well now what do you think about working on European or american semi trucks?🙂
You did a great job. I think the rear diffuser could be a little bit lower to the ground to be more aggressive and the spoiler still looks like it came out of the 90's but I really do like it.
Awesome redesign! It keeps the spirit of the RX7 perfectly. The only thing I disagree with , is the duplex exhaust , but great work nonetheless !
By far the best redesign ever
Awesome! We would love to see the modernized front view!
The redesign looks like a speedy boi!!!
But, for real tho, make a body kit outta this, it is badass.
What about the front?
You did nice job out there, but I still think the best rework of the FD is VeilSide Fortune bodykit 😅😍
This is sick tbh , well done
As a fan of the FD. 👏👏👏 bravo dude looks awesome!!
It really cold be he New Rx7
Good job bro... can you please advise me with the tools and the software that you use.
Nice render, I firmly believe the FD is one of the best looking cars of all time so I wouldn't change anything about it at all, but this was a good modern view of it, really enjoyed!
I love the video!
How would you redesign the Brabham BT62?
FRONT REDESIGN PLEASE!
I think Rx7 FD is still looking perfect for 2021 as it is :)
Thats an awesome re-design Sketch , looks less like a custard mould now 😀 lol 😆
Please do the front also!!
Hey thesketchmonkey, can u do the front of the fd too? Its my favourite car ever and i like the result of the rear, it migh be kinda of a challenge to make the front since u have to take the popups off and put the new mazda graphics, also the clip of the black rx7 that u used is from here, portugal.

The RX7 is the best melted cheese design ever, change my mind
Nice redesign. Was hoping for a redesign of the front especially the headlights. But that that looks really nice
Pop up up and down headlights rock! Redesigning the front bumper and fenders with sharper lines would help greatly.
this is some good art, id love to see a rx8 redesign
You should definitely make a body kit out of that it looks epic
This is all what we have been waiting for
this one turned out really nice.
What design program are you using?
Thats looks sick wish they made something like that today. Speaking of 90s cars you should redesign the 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood that would be a super cool redesign
Yes! Finally! Although the rx-7 design is timeless
Another amazing redesign. I would love to see your take on the Mustang as a Lincoln luxury sport coupe.
A lot of design decisions reminds me of the design of the Rx8. Perhaps continue and redesign that car too?
