The Mazda Savanna is a rotary-powered car that Mazda sold in Japan from 1971 to 1978 and then, as the Savanna RX-7, until 1991. The original 1971 car put the 10A rotary engine into the Mazda Grand Familia, and a larger 12A arrived in the GT introduced in September 1972 and soon became standard across the range. It was sold as a coupe, sedan and station wagon, and the coupe accounted for more than half of sales, which shaped the second generation. Mazda used the Savanna name only in Japan; abroad the first generation was the Mazda RX-3 and later generations the Mazda RX-7. The rotary suited Japanese buyers because its displacement stayed below 1.5 litres, keeping the annual road tax affordable.
