History
The first home market Savanna appeared in 1971 and lasted until 1977. It was sold internationally when installed with the rotary engine as the Mazda RX-3 and was otherwise largely identical to the inline-four-equipped Mazda Grand Familia. A station wagon version, the Savanna/RX-3 Sports Wagon, was sold for just one year, from 1972 to 1973, when it was replaced by the Luce/RX-4 wagon. All Series S102 came with the 982 cc (2x491 cc) 10A. While the larger S124 replaced the S102 in Japan and several other markets, the S102 remained in production for some markets for a while longer, being available in the United Kingdom until the 1975 model year at least.[5]
The 1972 RX-3 was powered by the 10A in Japan, Australia, and Europe, while other markets got the larger 12A from the RX-2. The 1972 RX-3 was the first rotary-powered station wagon.
The 10A engine output was 105 hp (78 kW) and 100 lb·ft (135 Nm). 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) time was 10.8 seconds, and the car ran a 17.6 second quarter-mile (400 m)(16.3 for the RX-2). In 1972 all rotary engines had their die-cast rotor housing coated with a new process: The new Transplant Coating Process (TCP) featured sprayed-on steel which is then coated with chrome, giving greatly increased engine life.
