Sold in Japan under the Eunos channel but built by Mazda, this is the only production car ever offered with a three-rotor Wankel engine; the 20B-REW flagship trim's specific chassis code is JCESE (1990-93) / JCES (1994-95), under the shared JC platform.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Years before anyone had a GPS in their pocket, this Eunos Cosmo had one built into the dash — it was the first production car anywhere with built-in satellite navigation.
The HB Cosmo is one of only two cars in history sold with a buyer's choice of gasoline, diesel, or rotary power — and it was the last Cosmo ever exported.
This oddly-named "Cosmo AP" (Anti-Pollution) was no flop: over 55,000 sold in Japan in its first year alone, and Mazda credits it with saving the company from financial disaster.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.

A product of the DaimlerChrysler merger, the Crossfire shares 80% of its parts with the Mercedes-Benz SLK — German bones under American badges.
