Beautiful 3-Rotor Mazda Capella - The Capella was never meant to have this much power!

  • Mazda only ever sold 3-rotor engines in Japan, oddly enough fitted to a large luxury saloon called the Eunos Cosmo. But in more recent times, these engines have become the darlings of the tuner world, well, for those interested in rotaries. This is without a doubt one of the neatest rotary builds we've seen in South Africa, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

    This car was build by my dad AndrePienaar who is the owner of Andre pienaar panelbeaters in Welkom.
    From body work to the engine build he did it all.Aj racing was the tuner but engine was build by Andre himself which is well renowned around for rotary engine builds.
    It’s awesome to see this car is still around and looked after.

    Cool retro car 😊. My dad had a beautiful stock standard 12A RX2 Capella Coupe back in the early 80's. He was the second owner and acquired it from a good buddy of his who had bought the car brand new and took very good care of it. It was my dad's pride & joy and also took great care of it until one day whilst he was at work, his little brother "borrowed" it without my dad's knowledge and ended up crashing it. It was a write off and sadly broke my dad's heart.

      sad story but hopefully not so sad as the UK Harry being mad at his brother William :) More seriously, I think most of the rotary engines just wore out so fast in spite of their performance so very few survived. Does anyone know different ?

      They were raced across the Caribbean 1970’s to 90’s with some particularly hot ones in Guyana, Trinidad and Jamaica, before people started bringing down spaceframe RX7’s from the States. Most retired now. There was an RX3 in Barbados ( Mark Maloney?) with a 20B which was swapped out to a 13B turbo. Great sounding and performing engine.
