Mazda only planned 100 Mazdaspeed Familia sedans — but demand was so high it built 200, every one finished in Starry Blue Mica.
The rare North American Protege ES hid a Mazda Miata engine under its hood -- the same 1.8-litre twin-cam, paired with all-wheel disc brakes and dual stabilizer bars.
Mazda built a 1,000-unit special edition of this generation, the Familia Infini, just to mark the company's 70th anniversary in 1990.
By late 1986, Mazda had built five million Familia/323s total, cranking out roughly 40,000 of them every single month.
The 1983 Familia XG Turbo quietly carried Mazda's first-ever turbocharged piston engine — years before turbos became the brand's signature.
This Familia/GLC was the first car ever sold under Mazda's "323" name — a badge that stuck around in export markets for decades after.
Mazda's timing could not have been more dramatic: this redesigned Familia Presto launched just weeks before the 1973 oil crisis reshaped what buyers the world over wanted from a car.
The rotary-engined Familia R100 wasn't about speed alone in Japan — its rotary dodged the tax bracket a comparable inline engine would have fallen into, and when an engine upgrade threatened that loophole, Mazda killed the rotary model rather than lose it.
Mazda's first-ever Familia was styled in 1963 by a young Giorgetto Giugiaro, moonlighting at Bertone years before he became one of the most famous car designers alive.
