Cosmo Sport

The first Mazda to wear the Cosmo name appeared in 1967. Called the Cosmo Sport 110S, it was the first rotary engine sports car. It was powered by a 10A two-rotor engine with 982cc of displacement and produced about 128hp. Equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, the Cosmo Sport was good for over 120 mph.

The Cosmo name quickly became Mazda's halo name in Japan, and it was applied to many later premium sports cars. It was even briefly applied to the 929 in 1981.

Eunos Cosmo

The modern Cosmo was based on the 1985 MX-03 concept car and started production in 1990. It remains the most powerful rotary-powered vehicle in history, and is the only Mazda to use a triple-rotor engine. This engine, the 20B, had two liters of displacement, which is quite large for a rotary powerplant. It produced better than 300hp with twin turbochargers. The car was a 2+2 coupe and was loaded with power amenities.
