The Mazda RX-2 was a compact coupe produced by Mazda from 1970 to 1978. It was the second generation of the Mazda RX-Series, which were distinguished by their rotary engines. The RX-2 was essentially a larger, more luxurious version of the popular RX-3, sharing the same 1.2-liter 12A rotary engine. This engine was initially rated at 110 horsepower, but was later upgraded to 115 horsepower for the 1974 model year. The RX-2 was available in both 2-door coupe and 2-door station wagon body styles. While the coupe was a popular choice, the wagon was a rare find, especially in the American market. A distinctive feature of the RX-2 was its sleek, angular design, which incorporated a long, sloping hood and a wide grille.

Performance-wise, the RX-2 was a surprisingly agile car for its era. The rotary engine, known for its smooth and high-revving nature, provided quick acceleration and an engaging driving experience.

It was also known for its reliability, particularly in comparison to other rotary-powered cars of the time. The RX-2 was a popular choice for drivers who appreciated its unique style, performance, and handling. Despite its relatively short production run, the RX-2 remains a sought-after classic car, particularly among rotary engine enthusiasts.
