When a quintessential JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) car embraces the flair of European design, what materializes is a breathtaking Mazda RX-7 inspired by the formidable Porsche 935, presenting a masterpiece that rolls on four wheels.

This crafty construction is the result of a remarkable collaboration between the widebody aficionados at Liberty Walk, Musa Rio Tjahono, the design maestro at West Coast Customs, and the adept hands at Indonesian tuner, ArtcustomWorks.

Currently, this automotive marvel is stealing the spotlight at the Indonesian Modification Expo, a stage that brings forth the latest raves in auto culture and audacious builds.

The wide-body stance of the car is nothing novel, yet it's the blend of aesthetic elements that captures the essence. Showcased through a 10-photo image carousel on the official event's Instagram account, the RX-7 pays homage to the 935 Porsche, a racing legend from the '70s, and epitomizes a cherished recreation reminiscent of the 911 GT2 RS Porsche.

Owned by Arief Muhammad, this tantalizing RX-7 build is more than just eye candy; it's a journey of creation, snippets of which are shared by Arief on his YouTube channel. Although the video doesn’t chronicle the build from inception, it provides a sneak peek into the semi-finished marvel.

Under its hood, the RX-7 retains its iconic 13B rotary engine, now augmented with a potent Koyorad radiator and a robust single turbo, churning out a solid 500 HP.

On the handling frontier, modifications include a big brake kit brandishing four-pot Brembo calipers, coupled with an Air Lift air suspension kit, rendering a slammed yet poised stance.

Aesthetically, the Mazda sports a Liberty Walk Silhouette body kit, crowned with a bespoke spoiler curated by Musa. Arief takes pride in his creation, stating that his car is amongst the handful of its kind globally, marking a first in Indonesia.

The color palette reminisces the '70s race cars, with the front end basking in the glorious 935 influence, extending elegantly to the rear.

Aligned with the Indonesian event’s theme, “The Future of Creativity”, this RX-7 is a living testament to innovation, melding vintage elements to conceive something avant-garde. Contrasting this vintage marvel, the event also spotlighted the future of electric vehicles, featuring a wide-body Ioniq 5 Hyundai, showcasing the vast spectrum of automotive creativity.
