The Mazda AZ-1 was first introduced in 1992. It is a subcompact two-door sports car from the Japanese automaker, and was designed to be an affordable sports car option for young drivers. It featured a number of performance enhancements, including a mid-mounted engine and rear wheel drive layout that improved the handling of the vehicle. It also featured an advanced aerodynamic design that helped increase fuel efficiency, as well as a lightweight chassis for improved acceleration and braking.
The AZ-1 was powered by a 657 cc triple-rotor Wankel engine, which produced 63 horsepower and 74 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain allowed the car to reach a top speed of 112 mph and accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 10 seconds. It also featured a limited-slip differential, as well as MacPherson struts suspension system at both the front and rear.
