The Mazda RX-7 FD debuted in Japan and previewed for US buyers, the Dodge Viper RT/10 entered production, and Honda refined the NSX while keeping the price steady.

1992 was the year Mazda showed the world the FD RX-7 and made a compelling argument that the rotary engine was not finished. The third-generation car used a sequential twin-turbo 13B-REW producing 255 horsepower in US tune, wrapped in bodywork that measured roughly 1,760 pounds less than a contemporary Z32 300ZX. It was a focused, almost antisocial machine built to one brief: be fast on a road course.

The Dodge Viper RT/10 also entered production in 1992, which felt like a statement from Detroit that American performance still had a pulse. An 8.0-liter V10 making 400 horsepower, no roof, no windows, no ABS, no traction control, and a base price of $50,000. It was a different kind of argument than the RX-7, but it was at least an argument made with conviction rather than committee.

For 1992, the collector market is now split between early FD RX-7 survivors and the domestic alternatives. First-year Vipers in original condition with matching numbers and low mileage are legitimately collectible. Early FDs with clean US titles and documented coolant overflow history are the more technically demanding buy, but the ceiling on clean examples is higher.

1992 in automotive history

Mazda began US deliveries of the FD RX-7 in late 1992 as a 1993 model year car, with the 13B-REW producing 255 horsepower in US specification and a base price of $32,500, down from an initial estimate of $36,000 after internal cost reviews.
Dodge produced 285 Viper RT/10 units in 1992, the first model year of production at the New Mack Assembly Plant in Detroit, each hand-assembled and delivered without carpeting or external door handles as a deliberate weight-reduction philosophy.
The Corvette LT1 engine replacing the L98 was announced for 1992 model year introduction, producing 300 horsepower through revised combustion chambers and reverse-flow cooling, representing the first significant Corvette engine update since 1985.
