About the Real Mazda RX-3
The Mazda RX-3 (also known as the Mazda Savanna in Japan) was introduced in 1971 as the rotary-powered variant of the Mazda Grand Familia. Available with 10A, 12A and later 12B twin-rotor Wankel engines, the RX-3 was offered in coupe, sedan and station wagon body styles — the latter being the world’s first rotary-engined wagon. A total of 930,000 RX-3s were produced between 1971 and 1978, with more than half sold as coupes. cite🛠web_search:17#0:~:text=Of the rotary engine Mazdas…more than half were in the coupé body style
The RX-3’s greatest motorsport triumph came at the 1972 Fuji Masters 250, where Yoshimi Katayama drove an RX-3 to victory — ending Nissan’s dominant GT-R’s streak of 50 consecutive wins. cite🛠web_search:17#0:~:text=Mazda’s aim at the 1972…deny Nissan their 50th straight victory The RX-3 also competed at the Bathurst 1000 in Australia, finishing fifth outright in 1975. cite🛠web_search:17#0:~:text=Notably RX-3’s were fielded…fifth place outright behind four V8 powered Holden Toranas

The Mazda RX-3 fits this theme perfectly — a lightweight, high-revving rotary machine that punched well above its weight on racetracks around the world, from Japan’s Fuji Speedway to Australia’s Mount Panorama.
