Mazda is marking 40(!) years of rotary engine vehicle sales with a 200-unit limited edition model RX-8 sold in Japan.
Mazda’s first rotary was the 1967 Cosmo Sport (sold as the 110S overseas), followed by the Familia Rotary Coupe (known as the R100 and RX-2 overseas), the Savanna (RX-3), RX-7, and Eunos Cosmo.
