Mazda RX-7 Veilside Fortune (Super Street)
The Mazda RX-7 Veilside Fortune is a famous Japanese street machine based on the FD3S RX-7 and transformed by Veilside’s widebody Fortune aero kit.

In the Simulator Feel
The RX-7 Veilside Fortune is a light, nimble, and deeply rewarding street car that thrives on momentum and clean inputs. Compared to heavier modern builds, it feels compact and eager, with a chassis that rotates beautifully when driven smoothly. The widebody aero gives it a planted, aggressive stance, but the car still has that classic RX-7 personality: quick responses, a lively rear end, and plenty of reward for drivers who stay disciplined with throttle and weight transfer.
Engine & Sound: The 13B rotary is one of the most distinctive engines in sim racing, with a high-pitched, metallic wail that rises sharply toward redline. Boost builds in a smooth but exciting surge, and once the turbo is on song the car pulls harder than its spec sheet suggests. The sound is raw, buzzy, and unmistakably rotary — part rasp, part scream, all character.
Handling Characteristics:
Cornering: Very responsive turn-in with excellent front-end bite. It rewards trail braking and smooth rotation.
Traction: Can be playful on exit; too much throttle will light up the rear tires and step the car sideways.
Braking: Strong street-performance braking, though not as confidence-inspiring as a dedicated race car.
Top Speed: Respectable, but the car is more about acceleration and corner speed than outright straight-line pace.
Driving Style Tip: Drive it like a momentum car. Keep the revs up, be patient with the throttle, and use the chassis balance to your advantage. It shines on technical roads and tighter circuits where agility matters more than raw horsepower.
Livery & Aesthetics: The Veilside Fortune kit is the star of the show — massive arches, deep side skirts, dramatic vents, and a supercar-like profile that completely transforms the RX-7. It’s one of the most recognizable tuner bodykits ever made, and in sim form it has the kind of presence that turns every lap into a statement.
Whether you’re carving up touge-style roads or cruising a street circuit, the Mazda RX-7 Veilside Fortune delivers style, sound, and driver involvement in equal measure — a true icon of Japanese tuning culture.
