Product Description
- The Savanna was released in Japan in 1971 as a rotary engine (RE)-only vehicle.
- The RX-3 in the Hot Wheels product name is the name of the export model, but even in Japan the first-generation Savanna is often called the RX-3.
- Unlike a normal reciprocating engine, which generates power through the up and down movement of pistons, an RE generates its power through the rotational movement of an irregularly shaped piston called a rice ball-shaped rotor, and the driving feel is often described as being 'like a motor'.
- Currently, there are no RE-equipped vehicles on the market, but since Mazda is the only company that has fully commercialized and put the engine into practical use, many car enthusiasts consider it part of Mazda's identity.
- Hot Wheels has based its car on the race-spec RX-3, but has arranged it in a tall, tall style inspired by the deformed Japanese plastic models that were popular in the 1980s.
