GT Limited Savanah???

I just bought this RX7 and it says "GT Limited" on the side of the fender and "Savanah" on the rear and from bumpers. What does this mean? Anything good? haha. THis is my first time on this forum so if this has been covered or is general knowlegde, I appologize!

Those are all Japanese versions of the car.

The RX-7 was sold under the Savanna name in Japan (like Toyota's are sold under the Lexus and Scion names here), and the GT Limited model was the loaded with every option model (simular to the 10thAE 88 Turbo here).

If the car is not right hand drive, then the last owner(s) added the stickers.

He is in San Diego...
I'm excited to find out.

P.s. It's the same as Efini badges on 3rd Gens. And they look sweet.

Mazda has always misspelt "Savanna".

If the car was RHD I'm sure this would've been mentioned, so I'm sure this is just a set of stickers. Without seeing them, they might not even be genuine stickers.

I bought the car from the original owner. He's an older guy and i doubt if he would have put the stickers on himself but u never know. It is NOT right hand drive. I was wrong about the spelling of "savanna", sorry guys. I think i got GT Limited spelled correctly, hahahaha. If any of u guys wanna come by and check it out, your welcome to. I live in mira mesa. Maybe u can help me with my overheating problem while there, hahaha, jk. Anyways guys, thanks for all the replies, quite a warm welcome to a new forum. Take kare peeps.

It's definitely just a sticker job then. Maybe his son did it. Start a new thread on your overheating issues; we can probably help you out.

Not really, they're basically the same car. Trivial differences only.

He said neat, not badass. I think a RX from Japan would be neat also. Not many people can say they have one...
