In the 1970s, Mazda developed the RX500, a dream supercar that amazed a multitude of car fans around the world. Developed by the research and design staff at the Toyo Kogyo Company and was a โ€˜mobile test bed for high-speed safety’ with forward-swinging butterfly-wing doors. Mazda RX-500 Concept features styling similar to the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO Breadvan. First shown to the public at the 1970 17th Tokyo Motor Show.

The car was repainted few times for promotional events.Read More →
