The 12AT version was the first fuel injected rotary engine, from a late 1982 introduction. The 1982 12A turbo Cosmo coupe was officially the fastest production car in Japan until being overtaken by the FJ20ET powered R30 Skyline RS. The HB Cosmo was the first of two cars in history to offer a choice of gasoline and diesel piston engines or rotary engines. The Cosmo coupe retained its top position as Mazda's largest rotary powered personal luxury car.
