My GT7 Log: Know Your Legends - The Mazda RX500

Let's get to know about the legendary cars that are hard to get in Gran Turismo 7's Legend Cars not only because of their extreme rarity that appears once in a blue moon but also their outrageous price tag that takes almost forever to save one. Today, let's get to know about the Mazda RX500, a concept car made in honor of Mazda's golden anniversary.


Built to commemorate Mazda's 50th anniversary, this concept car, displayed at the 1970 Tokyo Motor Show, features a rotary engine that produces 247HP of power as well as a bullet-shaped body for aerodynamics. Known trivia is that this concept first introduced the upswing doors before the Lamborghini Countach, making this concept car the originator of scissor doors.



The Mazda RX500 will lap through the Goodwood Motor Circuit but how fast will it go? Let's roll the tape.


It did it in 1:36.631. For a forgotten rotary concept car from the company that brought us rotary-powered engines, it's surprisingly impressive.

What other hard-to-get legendary cars should I drive next? Stay tuned for more.
