	Mazda Cosmo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cosmo was Mazda's 'large' compact rotary coupe and based on the Mazda RX-4 floorpan and mechanics, but slightly heavier due to body design and more luxurious appointments, including an 5-link rear suspension and rear disc brakes.
		It was known as the Cosmo AP in Japan, and sold internationally as the Mazda RX-5, though in some markets its piston powered counterpart was called the Mazda 121 (a name later applied to Mazda's subcompact model) when not equipped with a rotary engine.
		All were GT cars, with the first proving a successful launch for the Mazda Wankel engine and acting as a halo vehicle for the new Mazda brand.

		Mazda took the opportunity with the new model to introduce a bigger version of its rotary engine.

	Mazda RX-8 - RSportsCars.com
		The 2005 Mazda RX-8 is available as either a 238-horsepower model fitted with a six-speed manual transmission, or a 197-horsepower model fitted with a four-speed automatic with Sport Shift, which incorporates steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters for a Formula 1-style driving experience.
		Incorporating many elements that made the RX-7 the most successful model in International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) history and brought Mazda the 1991 24-Hours of Le Mans overall win, the RENESIS engine is exceptionally well-built and capable.
		Through the use of advanced ergonomic research, Mazda engineers determined improper seating posture to be a cause of driver fatigue and built in optimum support in the front seats to help counteract discomfort.

	Car and Driver Magazine - Mazda RX-8 - January 2003
		Mazda engineers simply moved the exhaust ports (there are no valves in a rotary engine) from where they had been on the peripheral face of the rotor housing and placed them on the side plates.
		There's a fairly long straightaway on the handling course at Mazda's Miyoshi proving ground that encourages a bit of leg stretching, but the sweeping left-hander that leads to it is blind because of hedges that surround much of the track.
		In the process Mazda made the naturally aspirated 13B twin-rotor Renesis engine about as powerful (at a provisional 247 horsepower) as the previous-generation turbo motor.

	The Australian: Mazda RX-8 [October 16, 2003]
		Mazda came into the picture after Wankel formed a relationship with German motorcycle-maker NSU to help develop the rotary in the 1950s.
		The twin-rotor engine in the RX-8 is equivalent to a 1.3-litre four-cylinder, yet delivers the power of a large-capacity V6, making it ideal – and a point of difference – for Mazda's premium sportscar.
		It is both smaller and lighter than the rotary in Mazda's previous two-seat RX-7 sportscar.

		Through the use of advanced ergonomic research, Mazda engineers determined improper seating posture to be a cause of driver fatigue and built in optimum support in the front seats to help counteract discomfort.
		Mazda’s design team examined every aspect and component of the interior and has created an elegant, performance-minded atmosphere.

		The 616 was a major component of Mazda's United States expansion in 1971, having been preceded by its rotary brother, the RX-2, the previous year.
		The Mazda Cronos and Efini MS-6 had taken the GE platform that the Capella might have used.
		The Mazda Cronos name was retired and the Capella, 626, and Telstar once again shared a common platform.

	Mazda RX-7
		While it would take some five years of development for the X605 to be released to the public, sometime in March of 1978 the first officially named Mazda RX-7 rolled off of the assembly lines in Ujina, Japan.
		The 2004 model year brought Mazda and rotary enthusiasts the all new Mazda RX-8 which had a look similar to that of the RX-7, and of course, the rear wheel drive rotary drivetrain, although no factory turbo option was available.
		This car was the 1979 Mazda RX-7, and while released in 1978, the car was technically considered to be a 1979 model.

	Inside Line: Mazda RX-7 and RX-8 -
		Mazda sold its R-100, RX-2, RX-3 and RX-4 series of rotary-powered coupes, sedans and wagons as (according to the ads) the small cars that went "hmmmmmm," while all the piston-powered others sounded like bed springs being churned in a blender.
		Mazda could have played it safe with the second-generation RX-7 by stretching a new skin over the familiar chassis, tweaking the engine for a bit more power and throwing in a more stylish interior.
		The third RX-7 was 1.4 inches shorter than its immediate predecessor overall and rode on a 95.5-inch wheelbase which neatly slotted it between its first- and second-generation forefathers.

	Mazda RX-7: Part 4
		Mazda addressed this need and designed the third-generation RX-7 with an electronic knock sensor that carefully listens for the early tell-tale signs of detonation and reacts by retarding ignition timing.
		In the previous installments, Mostly Mazda carefully secured (with small tie wraps) the proverbial "rat's nest" of vacuum lines that hide under the RX-7's intake manifold.
		Mostly Mazda also replaced the well-used, semi-clogged fuel filter with a factory-fresh unit in an effort to minimize the chances of fuel starvation.

		This article is part of the Mazda automobile series.

	Mazda RX-8: 7 + 4 = 8?
		Mazda gave the RX-8 a very aggressive shape, and only time will tell if it’s perhaps too aggressive to age as nicely as they’d like.
		The RX-8 needs to function as a decent 4-passenger vehicle, or we’d say much of Mazda’s R&D was all for naught.
		Personally, I wish Mazda would have skipped the rear seats and doors and just called this thing the new RX-7.
