In the early 1970s, Mazda began operation in North America. The brand quickly gained traction due to its unique rotary combustion engine (or Wankel engine, after the German engineer who developed it).
The rotary engine was part of the sweeping success of the Mazda RX-7, because it delivered a huge amount of power from a small, lightweight engine.
The one thing the rotary was not good at was fuel efficiency.
