The name Mazda comes from an old religion. Ahura Mazda is the creative god of Zoroastrianism, he is the light and the knowledge.

The Mazda Familia FA2 had the R100 (1968-1973) as its unstable counterpart.

Felix Wankel's rotary engine had been improved by Mazda engineers. To prove the quality of their latest creation, the factory entered competitions. In 1969, Mazda even took fifth and sixth place in the 100 hours of Francorchamps with two R24 coupes. The Mazdas were the only cars the Porsche's Spotted: A Mazda R100 WankelCould keep track of 911. The Mazda R100 coupe was relatively expensive and only 1969 was sold in the Netherlands in 1970 and 11.
