Some people are hard to please. Most of us are happy with our 2 or 3 rotors, but there are those crave 4 or even 6! (In Japanese with English subtitles)

Deffo happy with 2, its power vs weight.

If you can argue the 1.3 or 2.6 capacity (those piston boys dont like it) from a 2 rotor ....
Then youre looking at 230hp / litre from a n/a pp engine. Thats a great bang per buck

The marshals were so concerned I could hear them talking at the back of the car while looking to see if anything could catch alight

But will it ever see production

We've had so many concept Mazda rotary cars to drool over, but none have gone ahead

In the early 70s Norwegian Mazda importer Kolberg Motors commissioned photographer Frits Solvang (b. 1941) to do some promotional shots. Mazda was just becoming the most-selling car make in the country (1971) and Solvang, with his experience from the National Theatre, would have been top choice at the time. Cars featured are Mazda 1200/Familia, 1500/Luce, 616/Capella, 818/Familia, and of course the 1971 top model Rx-2 Super Deluxe Coupe. The final three pictures feature a rally-rigged Rx-2 with reg no 36-95-04. The driver in those pictures is probably Tore H. Bratlie. That very same car was entered for the 1971 RAC Rally by another Norwegian rally legend, Kjell Gudim. More about this soon (I hope)!
