1967 Mazda Cosmo: Japan's First Rotary Car Rolls Into Production
The year 1967 was one ripe for revolution. The Vietnam War was in full swing-as were protestors in Frisco, N.Y., and DC. Americans citizens of African decent were sworn into the U.S. Supreme Court and various city offices for the first time, while an open segregationist was elected as Governor of Georgia, and racial riots ensued in Newark, Atlanta, and Detroit. European nations brought WWII war criminals to justice at the same time Syria mobilized against Israel for six days in the Middle East. A small Wisconsin town declared itself an independent nation (for one day), and even pop culture got in the revolutionary mindset; the '67 summer was the one Of Love, and Jim Morrison defied CBS censors by singing the word "higher" on the Ed Sullivan show.

The year 1967 was also when Mazda released the Cosmo, and with it, brought the Wankel rotary engine to mass production. It was a lighter, mechanically simpler engine that produced more power-per-displacement, and at a faster rate, than reciprocating engines. It could be mounted lower in a vehicle's engine bay for a lower overall center of gravity, and could reach higher RPM than anything else in production-revolutionary indeed.
