RX-7 Mazda’s Rotary Engine Sports Car: Third Edition: Brian Long

Mazda launched its first rotary-engine car–the Cosmo–in 1966, and was the only car manufacturer to solve the problems associated with Wankels radical engine design and allow the unit’s potential to be fully enjoyed
The RX-7 of 1978 provided effortless and uncannily smooth performance, attributes that endeared the model to enthusiasts through three generations of production

Lavishly illustrated with high quality color photographs, RX-7 Mazdas Rotary Engine Sports Car provides an in-depth insight into this amazing production automobile
