Home > Mazda Roadpacer

The Mazda Roadpacer was a full-size sedan sold by Mazda Motor Corp. of Japan between 1975 and 1977. It was based on the Australian Holden Premier. Premiers were shipped to Japan without engines, and Mazda fitted a 1.3 L 13B Wankel engine into the bay. Although the engine produced 181 hp (135 kW) and 101 ft.lbf (138 Nm) of torque, the Roadpacer weighed 3,500 lb (1,575 kg).

Performance was restrained with a 103 mph (166 km/h) top speed, and fuel consumption was terrible. Contemporary reports suggest 9 mpg (26 L per 100 km)!

The price was also not a bargain at 3.8 million yen (US$10,000) in 1975. This was about twice the price of a contemporary Mazda Cosmo. The car was sold in the wake of the first fuel crisis and was not a commercial success. It was out of production in three years.
