RX500 '70

This concept car was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Mazda’s founding. Its bullet-shaped body was mounted on a steel tube space frame and powered by a 10A-type rotary engine originally developed for the 24 Hours of Spa, delivering around 246.5 HP. Although it appeared publicly in three different body colors, later investigation revealed it was, in fact, a single car repainted for each appearance.

The Mazda RX500 is a supercar that is nothing short of mythical. Built in 1970 for the 50th anniversary of Toyo Kogyo, known today as 'Mazda,' it debuted at the Tokyo Motor Show. This RX500 was conceived as a successor to the famed Cosmo Sport of the 1960s. Unlike the Cosmo Sport however, its rotary engine was not mounted in front but rear-midship...and was a high rpm type that could rev up to 14,000 rpm. With 246.5 BHP and weighing only 850 kg, the RX500 was an extremely fast car. Only one RX500 was ever built as a concept model, and in 2008 it was restored by Mazda to its original glory.

The Mazda RX500 '70 can be acquired from the Legend Cars dealer. It was last added on January 25, 2026 for Cr. 600,000.
