Mazda Luce R130

The Luce R130 represented Mazda's upmarket rotary offering with distinctive Italian-influenced styling by Bertone. Its 13A twin-rotor engine delivered refined performance suitable for executive transportation. The coupe featured more luxurious appointments than the sportier RX models, targeting buyers who wanted rotary smoothness with premium comfort. Its rarity and elegant design make it highly collectible today.
