	Mazda
		In 1931 the company began the manufacture of a light truck, and was renamed Mazda, both in recognition of its founder Jujior Matsuda, and in honour of Mazda, the god of light.
		Mazda had for some time shown interest in the rotary engine, and had finally bought a licence from NSU to build their own version after shipping samples from Germany.
		The first Mazda to be fitted with a rotary was the Cosmo 110S coupe, it also sharing the honour of being the first mass-produced rotary powered car in the world.

	cars - Mazda Wankel engine
		Although never produced in volume, the 40A was a valuable testbed for Mazda engineers, and quickly demonstrated two serious challenges to the feasibility of the design: "chatter marks" in the housing and heavy oil consumption.
		This was the only production Mazda Wankel with different rotor dimensions: Diameter was 120 mm (4.7 in) and offset was 17.5 mm (0.7 in), but depth remained the same as the 10A at 60 mm (2.4 in).
		The only other 4-rotor engine from Mazda was used exclusively for the various Mazda-built GT cars (including the 767B and 787B).

	Mazda Roadpacer and Parkway Bus
		Mazda took a god-awful HJ-series Holden Premier and exchanged the 3.3-litre "Red" straight-six for a 100kW 13B rotary.
		AS HEAVY as the Roadpacer AP was, it couldn't match the appalling mass of the Mazda Parkway Rotary26 bus.
		Mazda seem to look back on the tank with rose-tinted glasses as their website proudly boasts that "[its] most entertaining aspect was the low-vibration and quiet cabin comfort derived from the smooth operation of the rotary engine".

		Mazda launched yet another small saloon/coupe model in 1968, the R100. Using the same chassis as the 1200 model the Mazda R100 made good use of the 110s Wankel engine. This powerful Rotary engine could propel the R100 to 105mph, incredible performance for the time.
