DESCRIPTION:
ANOTHER FIRST FOR MAZDA: A QUICKER AUTOMATIC.
The rotary engine has been recognized by top automotive writers as the biggest innovation in decades.
That's why FORTUNE Magazine called Mazda, "A car that may reshape the industry’s future."
Now Mazda has come up with the biggest development since the rotary engine: an automatic to match it.
To test this new performance pair, we pitted
our car with its automatic against a couple of able competitors with their automatics at Pomona Raceway. Results:

What won the race for Mazda? The rotary engine? Or the new automatic?
Both. Naturally, the rotary gave us a head start. Nothing in its class can stay on the same track with it. But we had to have the right running mate, too.
One that doesn't sap its strength. One that puts all that torque to work. One that keeps the power manageable at all times. And provides a smooth, quick, turbine-like response.
Now it's available. Not just on test tracks, but of your Mazda dealer's. In five models — Sport
Coupes, Sedans and a Wagon.
Things will never be the same in the small-car world. Now you don't have to be stuck with an anemic performer. Even if your wife or girl friend insists on an automatic.

THEY BEAT US BY 2.1 SECONDS. WE BEAT THEM BY ,083.
The times for the quarter-mile runs (as conducted by Road & Track) were 15.4 seconds for the 2.4 litre Porsche 911E, 17.5 seconds for the Mazda RX-2.
The prices were 78 for the Porsche, 95 for the Mazda.*
All of which proves that you can get great acceleration without spending a bundle.
But Mazda gives you a lot more for your money than just acceleration.
First, you get a car with the rotary engine, the
engine the entire industry's talking about. And for good reasons.
It’s inherently more efficient, delivering almost twice as much horsepower per cubic inch as piston engines do.
It runs on lead-free gas, and as low as 70 octane.
It’s almost vibration-free.
It’s "remarkably trouble-free." (Road Test drove one for 50,000 miles. Their finding: "The apex seals were the only parts in the entire engine with
measurable wear." And these showed so little wear that Road Test projected their life "to be in excess of 150,000 miles.")
It may be the answer to smog. Indeed, one Mazda that was tested by the California Air Resources Board has already passed the tough 1974 smog standards.
Second, you get a car that’s as beautifully put together as the engine.
Car & Driver said if this way: "The car itself is built like a watch ... there is just nothing else like it…
compared to a Porsche, it's almost free."
Popular Science said: "My reaction to the RX-2? I phoned the boss and told him I wanted to buy the car. I fell in love with it."
We think you will, too, once you drive one.
To find the Mazda dealer nearest you, just phone this toll-free number anytime. Dial as you
normally dial long distance.
