It started as a test....would the world be receptive
to a new, affordable, two seater sportscar powered
by the revolutionary rotary engine? To find out,
Mazda took possibly the boldest move in automotive
history. At a time when sports cars were on the
way out, they decided to test release about 2,000
of their newly designed RX7 sportscars into the
American market.
This
release didn't flop as experts had predicted, instead
the American public purchased them by the thousands.
In 1978 over 19,000 were sold, and in 1979 over
50,000 were sold in a single year. The RX7 was praised
for its handling and speed, all at an affordable
price to everyone.
