Mazda introduced the third generation of the RX7 in 1992, and it became an iconic Japanese sportscar, even though it was underappreciated when it was launched.

Nicknamed "The Japanese Porsche 924", the second generation of the RX7 came on the market in 1987 and received constant upgrades until the car's retirement in 1995.

Mazda opened a new chapter in its history when it introduced the first generation of the RX-7 in 1978.

Mazda started introducing rotary engines since the Japanese regulations less taxed them, and the RX3 was an important step forward in that area.

Mazda introduced the Capella in 1970, and besides the inline-four versions, it also made it with a Wankel rotary engine that wore the RX-2 nameplate.
