Should have taken elements from the current Mx-5 and the rx-9 concept from a couple of years ago to maintain familial design language. This is a nice looking car, but it doesn’t feel like what a redesigned RX would look like.
Kinda has a c7 stingray vibe in the front bumper. Looks amazing but it does look like a body kit more than a redesign. That being said it would be a very amazing body kit at that!
It has a110 headlights in a corvette headlight housing and it's bumper is giving me porsche vibes. I kinda like it but I'd still take an actual fd over this.
Love the redesign but it only looks like RX7 with a modernised body kit...i would love to see RX7 redesigned based on the current design language of Mazda...100% sure its gonna look epic... RX7 stance and sleekness with Mazda's Kodo design language...
@@EleventyTwo Hahaha...noo...i mean the Rx vision design is good...but too exaggerated and concept-ish... its an obvious non production concept...i wanted to see a design which looks road legal ...not a concept...i dont know if you get what i mean...
In my opinion the headlights are a little weird combined with the bumper .You should have turned the light bars under the headlights of the old one to led bars to keep some of the original dna
I had this car, the FD 1994 in red w/tan leather interior, 5 speed manual, twin rotor, twin turbo. Was quite pleased with it except for the lack of low end torque and the lack of durability of the rotary engine. I agree w/ your RX-8 comments, no comparison to the RX-7 gen 3 design. Now I have a 2016 C-7 Corvette Stingray in Laguna Blue w/ light gray interior, 7-speed manual, 6.2L w/ plenty of low end torque. The "vette has all the sharp angles the RX-7 doesn’t with high performance car handling. You did a fine job w/ the RX-7 update except for the bolt-on spoiler. And glad to see you quickly removed the rear wiper, that was the one tacky design feature of the RX-7.
You made a Porsche front end with a r35 gtr rear......if they wanted to make an amazing rx7 relaunch, they keep it the exact same with new ground effects and a 3 rotor single turbo stock, and updated interior.
@@8kdrei no duh...that's why nobody likes any of the remakes out today amd why nobody likes the rx8. Challenger is crap, charger is crap, Evo is crap, camaro is crap, Integra is crap, bmw Supra was decent looking but it's a bmw crap.
Everything you just did is already available for the 3rd gen. The FD RX7 has the most bodykits and appearance upgrades available for any single model probably in automotive history. I bring that up because you effectively put on a SCOOT Japan front end, paired with either CCE, Group A or EUROU Aero front fenders, side skirts patterned after RE-A RX8 D1 kit, stock 99 spec wing, Car Shop Glow Taillights and Twinzdesign rear diffuser. Love your work but you should have started with a clean sheet and used the RX Vision concept and Mazda's current design language as a starting point.
I'm wondering if you could design some kind of pop-up that folded down at a certain impact pressure that would comply with the pedestrian crash laws that doomed the look
Wouldn't fold fast enough. What would be more appropriate is to connect them to collision avoidance system so that they close real quick as the car braces for impact
2:42 POP UP HEALIDGHT arent illegal , they just must respect some hard regulation, the new La pantera supercars that just came out as pop up headlight . Pop up headlight are not just hard to use legally so most car company stopped using them.
I have to say that this is one of your best redesigns ever. Bought! I would jump to the next Mazda dealer and buy one of These beauties right now if it existed
The front grill doesn't match the current Mazda design ethos and you wouldn't know it was a Mazda at first sight. Plus the grill and lights combination makes it look a bit cartoony. I would love to see you do a redesign of the 1994 european/uk Ford Scorpio. The one with the frog eyes and see how big a challenge it would be to make that car attractive.
I had a modified FD for ten years (and two engine rebuilds - coolant seal failures). I loved that car…when it ran. Got a C5Z06 (not stock) that I still own along with a P100D. This redesign looks incredible.
Just thought I'd leave this here. The first generation, dubbed SA22C or FB for north America went from 1979-1985. The FC was 1986-1991 and the FD was 1992-1995 (2002 in Japan)
Could you redesign the 300zx rear/side profile? I think it is such a timeless design from those angles, particularly with the black lines cutting up the body.
I feel like the RX-8 was already modernized from the 1999 RX-7 since they took the RX-7 signal/fog lights and graphics and stretched it up to become the headlights
To me, the RX-Vision Concept was a perfect successor, and i beg Mazda to make that car into a real limited production, simply because it would be the prittiest car of the last decade
This was your 1st fail sketch..... 😧 why didnt u keep old proportions and update with kodo? 🤔 it would have been a grand slam we all wanted to see 🤘 not that bad carrera gt thing 😑
I must be one of the few JDM fans that hates pop-ups. Ruins the lines. Pop-up replacement inset lights (or modern lights) are far nicer looking and you dont need to worry about the motors breaking either.
Can you do an RX8 redesign? I 100% agree that it looks tame compared to its competition. I also think the Nissan 350Z/Fairlady Z is in the same league. Maybe do both :D
Thanks to Keeps for sponsoring this video! Head to keeps.com/SKETCHMONKEY to get 50% off your first Keeps order
After watching Donut Media's latest vid, can you redesign thr Buick GSX or GNX. Im not sure if you have done that already.
the first gen rx-7 is the fb iirc, tried to look the fa up, and only got results for the mazda 323
Just wondering but how come you didn’t use the Mazda vision concept? That would be a cool video as well.
Should have taken elements from the current Mx-5 and the rx-9 concept from a couple of years ago to maintain familial design language. This is a nice looking car, but it doesn’t feel like what a redesigned RX would look like.
I know that the pop-ups will be remove because it need to be a modern car and aerodynamics purposes but i woud like to see a modern pop-ups.
Congratulations, you just showed us why the Carrera GT is one of the best designed cars ever
Dude, you don't have to do him like that 😂
I thought it look rather corvette-ish
Lol
@@lionellhwang5153 and Cayman-ish a little bit
@@lionellhwang5153 especially that front end
Love the rear. The front looks like the offspring of a C6 and a Porsche.
Specifically a C6/C7 and a CGT
100 percent
took the words out my mouth lmao
You know what the original Rx-7 SA/FB was a copy of Corvette. The FC was a copy of Porsche. It was the FD the had an original design.
Probably because it's an rx7 with c7 headlights Carrara GT front vents...
Kinda has a c7 stingray vibe in the front bumper. Looks amazing but it does look like a body kit more than a redesign. That being said it would be a very amazing body kit at that!

@@EleventyTwo no the stance isn't the same and the greenhouse isn't rx 7 like

Great attempt, hard to improve on perfection though innit 🤷♂️
I like the design, but it looks more like a 2010-2012 car than a modern day version.
Yes the headlights are straight from a 2012 car
Perfect. I want to see rx9 look like this.
Mazda RX-7 FD3S. Possibly the most beautiful sports car ever.

We all know why the RX-7 looks the best in yellow
you kinda made it sound like the FC was only a convertible, the coupe FC was top tier in terms of design in my op
You made a Porsche front end with a r35 gtr rear......if they wanted to make an amazing rx7 relaunch, they keep it the exact same with new ground effects and a 3 rotor single turbo stock, and updated interior.
Dual rotor hybrid for that extra torque
If they were to make another RX, they wouldn’t use a 3 rotor 😂 or make it look the same at all lmao

Redesign Doug demuro
My man just made an RX7 redesign when the rumours of a comeback started again. TH-cam marketing at its best
It would be cool to see you design your own Japanese canyon carver. You’ve done your own super car
Finally! I've been waiting for this one.
I have to say that this is one of your best redesigns ever.
Bought!
I would jump to the next Mazda dealer and buy one of These beauties right now if it existed
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL redesign! Well done!!!
Interesting stuff as always!

This design is just…
*ascends*
Fabulous
This looks really nice
Carrera GT is a timeless design
The car was alredy perfect
Just a quick note on your thumbnail - the car pictured shows the re-styled (refreshed) nose and rear wing that were first offered in 1999.
I had a modified FD for ten years (and two engine rebuilds - coolant seal failures). I loved that car…when it ran. Got a C5Z06 (not stock) that I still own along with a P100D.
This redesign looks incredible.
Finally, great job
That looks so good!
Nice to see you chose the Alpine A110 headlights 😍
Looks really good
IDK why people don't like the design of the rx8, I personally really like it
Looks awesome
Alpine a110 lights suits very well
How do you redesign perfection?
Thanks for putting french headlights
this is exactly how the rx7 FE should look
The Veliside already solved this problem.
Exactly!!!
Redesign Datsun 510 please. PD. Nice work
I still like the original design 100% without any hesitation. The best looking JDM car ever
Naah.... The original rx7 fd still looks better. You can't better the best.
So no hood scoop?
If you had been born a bit later, you would have been the designer of the century after GOU
The front looks like a corvette to me, still pretty satisfying watching the video though
honestly the original car with non popups still looks so good if they did it that way it would sell
Just thought I'd leave this here. The first generation, dubbed SA22C or FB for north America went from 1979-1985. The FC was 1986-1991 and the FD was 1992-1995 (2002 in Japan)
The front reminds me of the Veilside NS-X, and I love it
Why is it illegal to have pop up headlights?
When he first strips it down it resembles the Viper heavily.
i love your redesigns and this one is beautiful too but it reminds me of a c7 mixed with a porsche taycan and a honda s2k for some reason on the front
Could you redesign the 300zx rear/side profile? I think it is such a timeless design from those angles, particularly with the black lines cutting up the body.
I'd totally have a new RX-7 as my dream car.
RX-8 is so underrated
I feel like the RX-8 was already modernized from the 1999 RX-7 since they took the RX-7 signal/fog lights and graphics and stretched it up to become the headlights
and it kept the front fender vents
Doesnt look like 2022 design but it sure does look awesome as a body kit
Do you reckon you could redesign the 1999 ford laser. Its my own personal car an also my part time project car.
I think the new RX would kinda be in line with the RX concept and honestly, I wouldn’t be upset about it
sorry for asking this but where are the handles?
Nice Corvette
Bro👌
Simple, clean and modern! Love both front and back :)
So many armchair critics here lmfao. It’s easy to be a critic when you can’t produce anything of value yourself. Looks great, I’d buy one.
You think you could redesign the st165 toyota celica?
Great Videos!
Buick is struggling
help them out by redesigning
a Buick Reatta.
That would be cool
it was a great little car back then
The FC turbo II never came in a vert
It reminds me of the Carrera gt to be honest which makes it nicer
Mazda already did a perfect redesign with the RX Vision
Unfortunately it looks like a Porsche designed by the C6 Corvette team 🙁
Pop-ups headlights are illegal in Japan?
The Hyundai Coupe would've be a wicked car to redesign man, I hope you do it man !
The front of your redesigned one looks like the Noble M600!
You literally just turned it into a Corvette....lol. That's why I keep coming back. Some of your designs are truly hilarious.
Love it, but its not an rx7. Its looks more like the front end of a corvette with the rear of a dodge.
I think FD as is just engineering and design genius.
Looks great, but when I clicked on the video was expecting to see something along the lines of the new Mazda design lines.
The rx7 is just a corvette for jdm culture. Prove me wrong😂
My question is why is pop up headlights are banned
Great design. Good job. Looks really good
To me, the RX-Vision Concept was a perfect successor, and i beg Mazda to make that car into a real limited production, simply because it would be the prittiest car of the last decade
Maybe the next car redesing is the Porsche 911 GT1 Straßenversion?
Kinda have a Corvette vibe in the front bumper, but still amazing 🤩🤩🤩
Bro, amazing work, i really like ur restyles 10 of 10.
nicccce redesign, your channel got me into sketching, keep it up !
Send this ti Mazda, because it's the perfect 21st century RX-7 (and please, Say at him take that beautiful rear lights)

Personally, I don't hate popups when they are down. But up? Ugh... Never cared for them.
The veilside rx7 is basically a modernize kit for it
Was just wondering if you’ll upload today!
One of the best redesign you made love it! Are those Alpina headlights btw?
Yo sketchmonkey, the 91 RX-7 (FC) rarely came as a convertible. It's got a roof like every single one of them
I like it they definitely should make this Mazda will be cool again if they can bring back the RX7 and people will have a reason to go to Mazda again
Can you do an RX8 redesign? I 100% agree that it looks tame compared to its competition. I also think the Nissan 350Z/Fairlady Z is in the same league. Maybe do both :D
