1972-1977 Mazda RX-4 / Luce Rotary
From Rotary Engine Wiki
Production Period: 1972-1977
In late 1972 the RX-4 second generation rotary-powered Mazda Luce vehicle arrived, but this time in RWD guise and powered by the bigger 12A engines that had become standard Mazda rotary fare. The heavier RX-4 was marketed as a luxury/sport-type vehicle and subsequently was produced in three basic body styples - the hard top, the sedan and the custom. The RX-4 also appeared in smaller numbers in Luce Wagon and Grand Turismo forms - the latter featuing US-style woodgrain panels on the sides of the car.
