Build the classic car and a replica of its fascinating 10A rotary engine

Build your own amazing 1:8 scale model replica of the Mazda Cosmo Sport. First built in Japan in 1967, it was the first production car in the world with a mass-produced rotary engine.

The Series I/L10A Cosmo was powered by a 0810 two-rotor engine that produced about 110 hp. Mazda unveiled the prototype at the 1964 Tokyo Motor Show, one month before the 1964 Summer Olympics. The name ‘Cosmo’ reflected the world’s fascination with the Space Race, and the rotary engine, developed by NSU in Germany, was showcased as the technology of the future. In 1968, to prove the reliability of the rotary engine, Mazda entered the Cosmo into one of the most gruelling tests in Europe – the 24-hour marathon at the famous German Nürburgring circuit.

The model used to make this replica is the Mazda Cosmo Sport L10B, which was hugely popular and sold in large numbers until 1972. The replica has working LED lights and sound effects. Proportions and details have been faithfully reproduced in this 1:8 scale model of a truly ground-breaking vehicle.
