Mazda: A Aposta Tecnológica Que Quase Quebrou a Empresa
In 1961, Mazda (then Toyo Kogyo) was on the verge of being forcibly absorbed by the Japanese giants. President Tsuneji Matsuda bet EVERYTHING on an impossible engine: the rotary Wankel. To tame it, Kenichi Yamamoto assembled a legendary team of exactly 47 engineers—nicknamed the "47 Ronin," in homage to the samurai who sacrificed everything for honor and loyalty. They faced "Devil's Claws" (chatter marks), brutal failures, and the abandonment by Ford and GM... but with samurai-like persistence, they created ingenious solutions that saved Mazda's independence and gave rise to the iconic RX-7 and RX-8. This is the true story of honor, innovation, and tragedy: the engine that saved the company... and almost destroyed it in the oil crisis. A rollercoaster of overcoming adversity that teaches timeless lessons about legacy, tenacity, and when to stop.
