Mazda Celebrates 50 Years Since The Groundbreaking Rotary Engine

According to Inside Mazda, it was 50 years ago that the Mazda legacy began, with the most challenging project ever put to the engineering think tank.  Then known as Toyo Kogyo Corporation, the company partnered with German companies NSU Motorenwerke AG and Wankel GmbH to develop a rotary engine.  Cardinale Mazda Salinas offers a hearty congratulations to the Mazda Corporation!

Mazda Assembled The Best Minds To Perfect Rotary Technology

No one ever said it was going to be easy.  From the start, the prototype rotary engine failed.  Mazda responded by assembling a team of its best engineers to bring the rotary engine to fruition.  They were well aware that other competitors were also racing to be the first to introduce rotary technology.  It was a gamble that Mazda was willing to take and the rest, as they say, is history.

Mazda Cosmo Sport 110S First To Debut With Rotary Engine

Fifty years ago, the first Mazda sports car to debut and go on sale in Japan was the Mazda Cosmo Sport 110S and it featured a rotary engine.  The development of the rotary engine was the start of Mazda’s sports car legacy that endures to the present day.
