The Genius Engine That Destroyed Mazda

The rotary engine was one of the most brilliant ideas in automotive history — and it destroyed nearly every company that touched it. This is the story of how Mazda bet its entire existence on a German invention everyone else gave up on, built it into a legend with the RX-7, and spent 45 years keeping it alive against all odds. From the Cosmo Sport to the FD, from the oil crisis to emissions laws — the rise and fall of the engine that was too good to survive. One car. One story. The machines that became legends. 🔔 Subscribe for more Japanese car stories every week. #RX7 #Mazda #RotaryEngine #JDM #JapaneseCars #CarDocumentary #RiseAndFall
