Mazda at 100 | The development of the Rotary engine 

This is the abridged story of our world-renowned Rotary Wankel engine.
In 1967, the futuristic Mazda Cosmo Sport 110S became the world’s first production model with a rotary engine.
It was the start of a remarkable success story that would see the brand launch numerous models including the Mazda RX-7 and sell almost two million rotary-powered vehicles over the years.
Mazda would also prove its technological prowess on the track, becoming the first Asian manufacturer to win
the gruelling 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1991 with the four-rotor Mazda 787B - the only victorious car with a non-piston engine.
The Mazda rotary engine inspired Mazda’s ground-breaking Skyactiv Technology range of engines, transmissions, platforms and car bodies optimised in the name of maximum efficiency and to bring Jinba Ittai, the connection between car and driver, to all Mazda models.
