35 Muscle Cars To Bring Back (And 10 To Forget About)

1967 Mazda Cosmos

Mazda has always scored well in the design department but the original Mazda Cosmos is one of the prettiest cars the company has ever put on the road. The rounded design is more reminiscent of European styling in the 60s than what Japanese car companies traditionally offered. The Cosmos featured Mazda’s unique rotary engine, which doesn’t use traditional pistons. The Cosmos went on to compete on the tough as nails Nürburgring circuit in 1968 and put in a respectable performance, proving that the rotary engine could compete with traditional engines.
