Mazda's History: Innovation in the Service of Driving
Founded in 1920 in Hiroshima, Mazda takes its name from the Zoroastrian god Ahura Mazda, symbolizing wisdom and intelligence. This philosophy is reflected in the brand's unique approach, which has always prioritized technical innovation over following trends. The development of the Wankel rotary engine in the 1960s perfectly illustrates this approach: while all manufacturers were focusing on piston engines, Mazda was exploring a completely different path.
The RX-7, launched in 1978, quickly became the ambassador of this revolutionary technology. Compact, lightweight, and powerful, the rotary engine offers a unique driving experience. This iconic Mazda Model car embodies the spirit of a brand that doesn't hesitate to take technological risks to offer unique driving experiences.
In the 1990s, Mazda surprised again with the MX-5, a roadster that revived the spirit of 1960s British sports cars while bringing Japanese reliability. This model quickly became a global benchmark and established itself as the best-selling roadster in history .
A memorable anecdote: the historic victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
The year 1991 marked a historic turning point for Mazda with its victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans . The 787B, driven by Johnny Herbert, Volker Weidler, and Bertrand Gachot, became the first and only Japanese car to win this prestigious event. Even more remarkable, it was the only victory for a rotary engine in the history of modern motor racing.
This victory resonates as a symbol of Japanese audacity in the face of traditional European manufacturers. The 787B, with its distinctive orange and green livery, instantly became a legend. Its 4-rotor engine developed more than 700 horsepower while maintaining the characteristic compactness of this technology. This exceptional performance definitively validates Mazda's innovative approach and forges its reputation as a different and bold brand.
Even today, this victory remains etched in the memory of enthusiasts and partly explains the particular attraction of collectors to Mazda racing Models.
