Launched as the Rotary Specialty, the Mazda Savanna was the rotary-powered sporty model with wide tread, low height and three-dimensional front and rear styling. The Savanna was also successful on the racetracks in Japan. Following its first victory in December 1971, the Savanna went on to score numerous wins. The win at JAF Grand Prix TS/GTS-B race in May 1976 marked its 100th win in Japan, an unparalleled record achieved by a single model. Significantly uprated Mazda Savanna RX-3, powered by the 12A-type rotary engine intended for export, was looked up as the racetrack hero.

Whenever I drive from Hiroshima to Okayama to visit my grandparents, the R360 Coupe had always been my partner on the road.
For a long time, my dream was to buy and drive the Porter Van. Meeting with other fans and owners to celebrate the 50th anniversary is a wonderful memory that I will never forget.
Since I discovered the CX-8, I began to deeply appreciate Mazda’s manufacturing philosophy.
