Overview

Putting the 1967 Mazda Cosmo Sport 110S against the 1967 Porsche 911 S 2.0 S Coupe is a comparison that enthusiasts have debated for decades. Each car reflects distinct design philosophies shaped by different automotive cultures — Japan versus West Germany. The 1967 Porsche 911 S 2.0 S Coupe holds a clear advantage in raw power with 160 hp compared to 110 hp, a 50-horsepower difference that shapes the driving experience. Under the hood, the contrast is notable: the Mazda Cosmo uses a Rotary (Wankel) displacing 982 cc, while the Porsche 911 S relies on a Flat-6 SOHC with 1,991 cc. Rarity plays a significant role here — with only 343 units built, the 1967 Mazda Cosmo Sport 110S is considerably scarcer than the Porsche 911 S's 4,691 examples. From a collectibility standpoint, the 1967 Porsche 911 S 2.0 S Coupe rates higher among enthusiasts and auction houses.
