-In 1959, Germany's NSU company and Wankel company succeeded in the rotary engine which the engineer Dr. Felix Wankel independently developed from before the war and devised.
-Toyo Kogyo Co., Ltd. (now Mazda Motor Corporation), which paid attention to this, repeatedly negotiated with NSU and signed a technical cooperation agreement in 1961.
-And, the engine that was completed after various efforts to put it into practical use was full of ideas and technologies that the original NSU company did not have.
-A low, flowing body designed for the future and the universe, suitable for this engine, was debuted in May 1967 under the name of Cosmo Sports (export model 110S).
-The world's first 2-rotor engine, model name L10A, was built in 343 units.
-And in July 1968, a minor change centered on power up was done and it became L10B, and 1176 units were produced by September 1972.
