It was 1967 when Mazda launched its first rotary-powered production car, and subsequently the world's first fitted with an engine of twin-rotor design. The 100S, or Cosmo Sport, was a futuristically styled two-door coupé that wowed the public with its good looks and super-smooth 10A rotary engine. The following year an improved version went on sale equipped with a 10B engine that developed 94kW and gave the Cosmo a 0-400m standing quarter time of just 15.8 seconds and a top speed of 200kph.
