Nice list but technically, you could have had 9 different production cars without even leaving the Mazda stable.

General Motors purchased rights from Mazda to build a rotary sedan, and in there somewhere American Motors planned to use the GM version of the rotary in a new car they were designing called the Pacer. After American Motors had the Pacer ready to go, GM backed out on building the rotary, and American Motors had to redesign the Pacer because, using their original in line six, they had to lengthen the Pacer body, resulting in doors that were way too long and heavy. So then the Pacer became an oddity that most laughed at., but in it's own funky way, the Pacer looked pretty cute, good actually. I remember when AM introduced the Pacer on TV. They had a high school band group standing on the two sides of a ramp as the Pacer came down the ramp, the announder is saying INTRODUCING THE NEW WIDE PACER, and all of a sudden the band had to JUMP OFF both sides. of the ramp to keep from getting knocked off, and someone yelled.."Wow, We didn't know it was THAT wide." I guess that was a selling point in their eyes. A new short little car that was way wide almost like an egg. But cute it was, with lots of glass for visibility and that big in line six they had to use instead of the rotary was a good, reliable engine, if old fashioned.

I feel like they didn't give the rotary engine a good enough of a chance It's sad to see that the rotary engine has just been reduced to something for enthusiasts to appreciate

Thank you for this. I knew about some but not all these models. I once owned a 1977 Rotary pickup, and, the only year produced, it had a larger cab than the earlier two years More room and the same great 13B driveline. Mine had a Racing Beat intake with Holly 4 barrel and Racing Beat exhaust. Never ported it, but I think I had more race challenges driving that truck than any other, and I always won. Only trouble with that truck, it came with steel 6 bolt 16 inch wheels, and I could not mount any wider good looking wheels, which usually came in five bolt 15 inch. My two sons, between them, still own rotaries that came from me. 71 R100 with a larger 70 cube 12A (12B in Japan) engine, ported, and with only 1900 some pounds it hauls. Also we have a 73 RX2, again with a ported 12A, and about 2100 with 210 HP. Also in the family is a cherry original 84 RX7 GSL-SE, which came with a 13B, 4 wheel discs, and limited slip. We love our rotaries though it is very hard to keep the older rotaries on the road. Not because of the drivelines, they are solid. But we have trouble with rubber, brake cylinders, etc. Have had to order way off to Australia for some parts. Might have to tear out the Mazda front ends and put in a Ford suspension and brakes or something to keep them going.

It was said NSU Ro80 owners carried a spare engine in the boot (trunk) to cope with the frequent seal failures. The engine was light in weight and compact, and could be changed by the roadside by a competent mechanic.

The Mazdaratti looks good in red!

brilliant videos mate, keep them coming

Missed one: the short lived, but available to the Japanese public, Mazda Roadpacer, twin rotor rotary installed into a Holden HX Kingswood. Problem was typical for a rotary installation in a heavy car: plenty of power by mid 1970's standards, not enough torque. It was definitely not an RX model.

The interesting thing about rotary engines and LADA is that a lot of Mazda RX owners in Russia swap stock engines with 1.6 16V (98hp) ones with additional custom turbo to raise the power. The reason is simple - proper restoration of rotary costs almost the same, as to swap the engine.

Great Video, thanks for making!

A high school friend had an RX-4 - I always dug the sweet howl of that 13B rotary. Hope to get an RX-7 one of these days. This is a great KZread channel - thanks

Damn that 20b Cosmo is a gorgeous vehicle.

There's also the Aerovette which never really left the prototype phase. It was basically a more aerodynamic mid-engine rotary Corvette

Awesome video!! Learned alot

Really good video. I didn’t know about all those weird European rotary cars. Thank you!

You didn't cover the Mazda R100, which was not an "RX", or the Mazda Roadpacer, which was based on a Holden Kingswood.

Thanks for sharing! Very informative. Subscribed 👍🏻

Not a Japanese car fan at all, but a buddy of mine had one of those Mazda trucks in high school, and what I remember most about that truck is the weird baby blue paint job, and that the motor reved forever...the rpm's seemed to be like the energizer bunny, they kept going and going and going....it had a neat sound to it...

Ah, the video that I requested for maybe 2 years ago. Thanks, this video is added into my playlist now.

Wait, so you included separate entries for cars that were never actually in production, but then grouped econoboxes like R100, RX-3, with sports cars like three generations of RX-7 selling over 800k units and the RX-8 sport sedan selling 200k units? At least the Cosmo generations - although totally unrelated in market segment and body style - shared the same name. It was interesting to see the non-Mazda rotary cars.

Concerning the beautiful Ro80, NSU honoured every single warranty claim with new engines - and bled themselves dry. The build quality and design of these cars (1967) was on par with anything today.

Great video, thanks !

Thanks for the video. I currently own a 2006 RX8GT and a 1991 Rx7 convertible. I love them both. I also had a 1993 Twin Turbo RX7. I miss that car and wish I had the engine rebuilt rather than selling it. If the 1991 or the 2006 ever needs a replacement engine I will gladly have that done.

Mazda had a 10a, my friend, early R100 Familia I believe, keep the great vids up, If you ever go to New Zealand, I'll buy you a beer.

I know it isn't a car but the Suzuki RE5 bike was in production for 2 years, Norton also made an Aircooled twin rotor bike

A few years back I had a drive of a Mazda RX-7 on a motorway in Britain... damn, once out of the corners that thing was lightning fast. Not sure exactly what model engine was in it, but it was a rotary... completely awesome !

It might be worth a mention that the AMC Pacer almost got a rotary. GM was going to provide the engines. GM pulled the plug and AMC had to use their already existing 232 and 258 straight 6. Probably worked out for the better though, cause rotary engines don't like weight. They work great in really light vehicles though.

My first car was a 79 rx7 automatic. Got it for 600 bucks. Sold it for 2000 too some old dude after driving it all throughout high school. Miss that lil Car! After i sold it, i did some research and found out a automatic rx7 from 79, was more rare than a manual cause autos were a luxury back in the day.

Interesting sounds

They sound so good...

A little addition on the Lada cars: there were 50 copies of 21018 sold but the engine proved to be so unreliable that 49 out of them were retrofitted with the usual engine instead of the rotary. I guess there's a small possibility that somewhere in Eastern Europe someone still owns an original 21018, the only one left in the world :D

My first vehicle was a 1974 Mazda Rotary Engined Pickup, and it was great -- much more powerful than other Japanese pickups of the day. I remember coming across a friend in his muscle car on a country road when I was driving it. He tried to lose me, but I stay right up with him, then passed him. He was amazed. I used to drive up long uphill grades at a hundred miles an hour, amazing people all around (yes, I know, unsafe -- sorry, I was a teenager). It didn't get very good mileage, though. Fun days.

My younger brother took a bi-rotor motor from a wrecked Mazda RX-4 and adapted it to fit into a 1964 Alfa Romeo Spyder , the result was both incredible speedy and scary to drive. You could hear the car scream a mile ahead of you on the freeway and very few cars could catch up and over-take it . It made a noise that sounded like a cross between a jet and an air raid siren,almost deafening as it roared by.

There was one Right Hand Drive GS Birotor built. In Australia by talented Citroen enthusiast Greg Feinberg. He also converted an SM to RHD... Very complex job.

I love these euro-cars!

Have driven both a Mazda R 1, and a Mazda pick up, very powerful. The R 1 with manual trans would nearly pull a front wheel off the line. I would say one of the biggest early problems with Mazdas rotary engine was the deceleration valve, the spinning rotors were so heavy that on deceleration the engine wouldn't slow rotation quick enough, apex seals were finally corrected in the late 80's. Wish I could find a good older RX 4.

@JoshRex7ven

2 жыл бұрын

Not exactly. By the time mazda released the final version of the 12A used in the first generation RX-7, the apex seals had already been sorted out. Some say that the 12a seals are better than the newer 13B ones.

I always wanted a first gen RX7 with a post '86 turbo engine. Where I live they just aren't. I love the sound.

I think General Motors experimented with rotary engines for a bit but never adopted it in any production car. GM probably didn’t continue with the rotary engine experiments due to poor fuel economy or bad emissions which was a key issue at the time of development. However, i think the biggest reason was rotary engines don’t produce much torque, making it unsuitable to propel the big heavy American cars being sold at the time. It would have been interesting if they followed through with it.

It doesn't matter what car is, the sound of the Rotary Will transform it in a beast!!

I found out about rotary Ladas like four years ago, since then i have been looking everywhere but i couldnt find any for sale, i guess its because it was KGB special and they didnt produce alot of them

I’ve been hearing a lot of stuff about the Liquid Piston engines, supposed to the the improved successor to the rotary engine concept. While it’s been advertised to have insane horsepower numbers for its size, the torque output might be underwhelming. In order for the liquid piston engine to produce torque, it might have to run at very high rpm’s. And torque is what you really want for a daily driver. However, for motorcycles or racing sports or even chainsaws, where peak horsepower is more important, this engine has enormous potential.

Didn't know about the Lada rotaries, but that Lada with the birotor sounded good, and 110hp makes fun in it because people expect you to be slow, and then they get a surprise. Personaly I would prefer the Repu or RX4 to own, those are nice looking and sounding cars.

Am I the only one to find wankel engines sounds particularly ridiculous, especially at idle? Reminds me of cheap french moped. And again, very well documented and informative video (always discovering new thing watching this channel), but it omits few details. NSU Ro80 and the Citroen GS share basically the same engine, COMOTOR being a joint venture between these two manufacturers. The M35 "prototype" (actually a mule, sold to "lucky" customers) also share the same engine but cut in half. These 3 cars shares the same roots. Also, Citroen didn't want to keep these commercial failures and technically expensive to maintain cars on the road. Most of the M35 and GS Birotor had being bought back from customer or exchanged for another, piston engined, car, and were all but few scrapped. Both are now considered historical treasures, running ones are even rarer. And also, most ridiculous trivia ever, the M35 was meant to be produced at 500 units. All being marked on the body with a numbered sticker. In fact, only half were ever sold, and to conceal this commercial failure, the stickers lied with some having a serial number exceeding the actual production run... Citroen's wankel adventure, associated with the oil crisis, and the very expensive acquisition of Maserati to build the even more expensive V6 coupé SM model, and also the even more obscure idea of the Wankel powered chopper, are all causes of this manufacturer demise.

Holy shit, a rotary LADA!

The RO80 had a semi automatic transmission. The clutch was engaged by pushing the gear lever. Also it was a very modern design, ahead of it's time for sure. Even from the outside it looks more like a 80s car than a 60s car.

You forgot Mazda 787B, that won 24 Hours of Le Mans once.

@jonah.h

Жыл бұрын

yeah but is that a mass produced car available to the public? no.

Lada did not have permission from Wankel to produce rotary engines, so the Soviets purchased One Mazda car with a rotor and resorted to reverse engineering. Hence a very large number of breakdowns. In early batches, only 2 out of 5 engines were operational. VAZ "РПД 415" is a reference quality engine, it's a pity after that the experiments were closed.(

4 rotor 26B wankel engine sounds like an old V8 F1 car IMO

Its 2018, and no, it wouldnt rev higher, be smaller or more reliable, the physics didnt change and they pushed the limits back then too.

26B doesn't exist "in nature", you have to build one for yourself , check Hartley H1 or Synergy v8. You can also upgrade Toyota 1UZ or destroke Nissan VK56 and upgrade valvetrain to rev up to +9k rpm. Bimmer v10 (s85b50) might be cheaper alternative for Toyota/Lexus 1LR.

lol, rotaries are such weird sounding engines. although that purple rx4 sounded pretty mean and 3 or 4 rotors sound amazing!

The Repu was a cool looking mini truck they definitely should have put a decent alternate motor in rather than killing the entire pickup off I could see that with a decent v6 as a really popular pickup

You missed at least 1. The Mazda Roadpacer. Only 800 produced and made from an Holden Premiere body.

the eunos cosmo should have had its own spot on this list for beeing the most powerful production rotary, for all the tech that it got and for having the first and only 3 rotor production engine on the planet. just a bad ass car thats gonna be a future collectors car.

Hey Viso what about the mazda roadpacer it was made from Holden HJ statesman deville with early twin rotor from mazda

Those are not the only 9 vehicles with Rotary engines....Mazda 787B, Mazda Parkway bus, Mazda Furai, Nissan experimented with them and GM too.

yeah i noticed that too, his vids are poorly researched. No mention of front wheel drive R130 13a , R100s, road pacer, parkway bus, nothing.

1. Citroen M35. 2. NSU spider. 3. NSU RO80. 4. VAS 2101. 5. Mazda Cosmo 110. 6. Citroen GS Birotor. 7. Mazda Rotary pickup. 8. Mazda R100. 9.Mazda RX7 10. Mercedes M950F. 11. Mazda RX3. 12. Mazda RX4. 13. Mazda RX5 Cosmo. 14. Mazda RX7. 15. Mazda RX8. 16. Mazda Euno Cosmo. 17. Mazda R130 Luce. 18. Mazda Roadpacer AP. That's considerably more than nine cars powered by rotaries, and I may have missed a few....

nice video. But Didnt chevy make a mid engine twin 2 rotor vehicle called the aerovette? or something like that?

You missed the Mazda Road Pacer from the mid 70's which was a HX Holden Premier that would be shipped to Japan minus engine and transmission and Mazda dropped the 13b and Jatco automatic transmission in and was for the luxury segment, and the Mazda Rotary bus.

Yeah it didn't work all that well considering how heavy a HJ,X or Z Premier is with all the luxury adons

Can't help but like the rotary engine concept, despite its failings.

Love rotary engines 😍

Mazda alone made over 10 different cars with rotary engines, not even counting the different generations as separate models. Cosmo, R100, RX-2, RX-3,RX-4, RX-5, RX-7, RX-8, REPU, Roadpacer, Luce and Parkway (but the last one is a minibus).

Samara cars (2108 and -09) also have nothing to do with FIAT. They were developed by VAZ in collaboration with Porsche.

The RX series in the U.S. had the R-100 RX-2 RX-3 RX-4, and the RX-7 (Gen 1-3). In Japan the Cosmo with a 20B 3 Rotor engine.

Dr Wankel conceived the engine as a pump. As such, it worked very well. Unfortunately, its advantages as an engine were largely negated by (1) the inherently inefficient combustion chamber, (2) the close proximity of the hot combustion chamber to bearings, (3) the reliance on mass airflow for cooling (which is why modified rotary engines have to idle so fast and loud.). Its overall thermal efficiency is low, lubrication is problematical and dirty. Exciting, but probably no better overall than a 2-stroke piston engine.
