Eunos Cosmo ... (what's in a name)

The Eunos Cosmo (loosely based on the 1985 MX-03 concept car) started production in 1990 on the new JC platform. The Eunos Cosmo was the top-line touring flagship of the Eunos luxury channel. It is the only Mazda to use a triple-rotor engine. The car was a 2+2 coupe and was loaded with power amenities. Only an electronically controlled 4-speed automatic transmission was available.

Two engines were available, the twin turbo 13B-RE and the 20B-REW. The triple rotor 20B had 2 Litres (1962 cc) of displacement, making it the largest capacity rotary offered for sale by Mazda. It produced 300 hp (224 kW) and 300 ft·lbf (402 N·m) with twin turbochargers. The JC series Cosmo set several firsts in Automotive history. Its 13B-RE and 20B-REW engines were the first series production twin sequential turbo systems to be offered for sale on a rotary engined car (The twin sequential turbo piston engined Porsche 959 predates the Eunos Cosmo by several years). The better known FD RX-7 didn't receive the twin turbo 13B-REW engine until early 1992. Plus was the first production car in the world to get a GPS option & the first in Japan to use the "Palmnet" serial data comms system for ECU-to-ECAT operation.

This 4th generation Cosmo was way ahead of its time electronically as well by being offered ^[4] with Car Control System, a CRT colour touch-screen controlling climate control, mobile phone, GPS car navigation, NTSC TV, radio and CD-Player.

The Cosmo was speed limited to 180 km/h (111.8 mph) to suit Japanese regulations, but the 20B-REW version was capable of 255 km/h (158.4 mph) if given a free run.^[5] With over 380 N·m (280 lb·ft) of torque available at just 1800 rpm, the Cosmo could launch from standstill to freeway speeds quickly; however, this came at the expense of heavy fuel consumption. The JC Cosmo was expensive even by today's standards, as Mazda still has not matched the sales price of this car some 18 years later for anything else in its range.

The Cosmo was manufactured from February 1990 until September 1995, and gathered a total of 8,875 sales. A split of 60/40 sales between 13B-RE and 20B-REW variants made the triple rotor 20B-REW version a rare car. Although the Cosmo remained a Japanese market-only vehicle (export had been proposed originally under the Eunos sales channel or the defunct USA-only Amati sales channel.^[5] ), the Cosmo has found its way to RHD countries such as Australia, New Zealand, & the UK (LHD Norway)thanks to limited import regulations for private importers from these countries. The Eunos Cosmo appeared in Sega GT and the first two Gran Turismo games, as well as the Arcade game series Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune 1, 2 & 3.

Wankel.

Best sounding Le Mans car ever!

[Jupke 11.086]

Spijtig.

[Jupke 11.086]

Daarstraks terug verliefd geworden op de mijne trouwens.

Stond al meerdere weken aan de kant met sporadisch wat kleine ritjes.

Deze week 2 keer voor een grotere afstand er mee op weg geweest en wat een zalig karretje is dat toch.

[quadrifoglio 3.641]

Wankel.

Best sounding Le Mans car ever!

Spijtig.

Slachtoffer van de vooruitgang, helaas.

Net wat filmpjes zitten bekijken: "rotary quadrotor", "RX7 bridgeport", "rotary flames",... Nu wil ik weer een RX7 hoewel ik dat totaal niet kan en wil betalen/onderhouden.

Vorige week nog met iemand gesproken die een FC heeft gehad, hij zei dat hij er zelf iets minder dan 50d km mee had gedaan. Eerste vraag die ik stel: "Aah, dan hebt ge waarschijnlijk minstens 1 revisie moeten doen?" Kerel begon te lachen, mijn vermoeden klopte:rofl:

[abtler 4.511]

..dan toch nog maar wat Wankel laten zien.
