Production Period: 1969-1972

The R130 coupè was Mazda's only production front-wheel-drive vehicle fitted with a rotary engine, and sold on the Japanese domestic market. It was also the only Mazda fitted with a very rare 13A engine. Based on Mazda's RX-87 prototype, the R130 featured the Italian inspired lines in vogue at the time, making it an attractive-looking machine with performance to match. The twin-rotor 13A produced 93kW at 6000rpm in the R130 and was driven through a four-speed transmission capable of 190kph top speed.
