A rotary engine Mazda


The Mazda RX-7 is a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, rotary engine-powered sports car that was manufactured and marketed by Mazda from 1978 to 2002 across three generations, all of which made use of a compact, lightweight Wankel rotary engine. This 1984-85 survivor found in eastern North Carolina is from the first generation. (Photo by Jim Meachen)
