Production ceased in 1991
Mazda’s own historical records show second-generation RX-7 production continued into 1992, including a Cabriolet Final Version launched in August 1992.
Full reasoning
This date is too early. Mazda's official 2020 news release on reproduced RX-7 service parts states that the second-generation Savanna RX-7 was produced from 1985 to 1992. Mazda's official RX-7 model genealogy is even more specific: it lists the "Savanna RX-7 Cabriolet Final Version" as launching in August 1992. If Mazda was still launching a special-edition RX-7 Cabriolet in August 1992, production had not ceased in 1991.

The "Type B" shares all features of the "Type A" but with a 2+2 seat configuration.
Mazda’s Spirit R press release says Type B did not share all Type A features; Type A had exclusive Recaro full bucket seats, while Type B used different leather bucket seats.
Full reasoning
Mazda's official Spirit R launch release says the three Spirit R models shared some common equipment, but each model had its own distinguishing equipment. It specifically states that the Type-A had exclusive Recaro lightweight full bucket seats, while the Type-B and Type-C had authentic leather red bucket seats. So Type B did not share all Type A features; the seating alone is a documented difference, and Mazda explicitly describes model-specific equipment differences.
