1968-1973 Mazda R100 / Familia Rotary
From Rotary Engine Wiki
Production Period: 1968-1973
The production R100 was based on Mazda's RX-85 protype that had been shown in 1967 at the Tokyo Motor Show. All models were sold with the same twin-rotor 10A engine as fitted to the Cosmo Sport, but slightly de-tuned to produce 75kW at 7000rpm. Weighing in at only 805kg, the R100 had a favourable power-to-weight ratio that enabled a top speed of around 180kph. In 1969 the two-door coupè was joined by a sedan version - the Familia Rotary SS.
