At least one of them held the rotary engine flag high when NSU & Co. had long given up the technology: Mazda had a rotary engine in its range for all model series until 1978. This was also the case for the RX-7. The unique engine was used throughout all four generations and produced between 105 and 280 hp.
Other distinguishing features of the RX-7 besides the engine technology were the folding headlights. Especially due to the low prices of the RX-7 compared to the competition, it became a great market success - with a rotary engine. Today the limited edition of the third generation in particular is a popular collector's item traded at top prices.
