The Mazda RX-2 and RX-3, produced from 1971 to 1977, were iconic Japanese sports coupes that marked a pivotal moment in the history of rotary engine development. While sharing the same 1.2-liter 12A rotary engine, the two models differed in their chassis and body styles. The RX-2, known in some markets as the "Capella", was a larger, more versatile coupe built on the same platform as the Mazda 616. It offered a more spacious interior and a more comfortable ride, making it a popular choice for families. On the other hand, the RX-3, often referred to as “Savanna” in some markets, was a smaller, sportier coupe with a distinctive, almost futuristic design. It was lighter and more agile than the RX-2, making it a favorite among enthusiasts seeking a more engaging driving experience. Despite their differences, both the RX-2 and RX-3 shared a common focus on performance and handling. The rotary engine, known for its smooth power delivery and high revving capabilities, provided an exhilarating driving experience. The lightweight construction and well-tuned suspension further enhanced their agility on the road. The RX-2 and RX-3 were particularly popular in Japan, where they gained a reputation for their reliability and performance. Though they were short-lived models, their legacy continues to inspire enthusiasts today. These vehicles represent a significant milestone in Mazda's history, showcasing the brand's commitment to innovation and performance. Their sporty character and unique engine technology cemented their place as cult classics, sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
