I think it has english subtitles: youtu.be Rotaries are fun!
Interesting car indeed. Dirk
the R-100 (just after the Cosmo), finally bought one a year ago and love it! Cars for people who like to drive!
The rotaries are strong and fast but quite troublesome. I spent half hour last night trying to help a buddy resolve some issues on his RX-7. I think he has had at least 10 Mazda rotaries - I’ve just had one, very briefly. I do like the look of the Cosmo Cazalea
components in the cooling system in top shape (water pump, hoses, everything). One overheating episode will usually warp the "barrel" ending the life of that engine. The four rotor Mazda 787B that won Le Mans ('91) was a mind blowing race car! Little ole Mazda took that engine design further than any other manufacturer.
...my grandfather had a coupe version, not this sporty model. It was a manual transmission, and I remember it being a very quiet car. It had a big enough trunk to carry two golf bags : )
