Production Period: 1970-1978

The popular Rx-2 first went on sale in Japan in mid-1970 in both two-door coupè and four-door sedan guises. Fitted with Mazda's all-new bigger displacement 12A twin-rotor engine that provided 88kW at 6500rpm, the RX-2s managed 190kph through their four-speed gearboxes, and even higher top speed in the five speed-equipped GSII models that went on sale in 1972. The Rx-2 was also avaliable in a special G model that featured the world's first ever rotary fitted with an automatic gearbox.
