Mazda has always been the king of quirk, at least when it comes to mass-market automakers. Probably the largest example of the Japanese automaker’s outside-the-box thinking is its previously widespread use of the Wankel rotary engine. It saw use in loads of models, the most notable of which were ones like the RX-7, RX-8 and the Cosmo. Currently, Mazda doesn’t offer a single Wankel-powered model, although this could very well change soon.
