The Mazda RX-500 mid-engined concept car first shown to the public at the 1970 Tokyo Motor Show and it was a stunner. With it’s two-door supercar looks butterfly-wing doors the crowds were impressed with pintsized exotic.
The car weighed 1,873 lb (850 kg), and was powered by a 491cc Wankel engine that was mounted forward of the rear axles, producing 247 hp (184 kW). The car was restored for the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show and is now on display at Hiroshima City Transportation Museum, and was shown at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK in 2014
