The Mazda 757 is a prototype racing car built by Mazdaspeed for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, running in the IMSA-specification GTP class. It replaced the Group C2 cars that ended with the 737C and was the first chassis built entirely by Mazdaspeed, designed by Nigel Stroud. The 747 designation was skipped to avoid confusion with the second generation RX-7, which was developed under the codename P747. The 757 used a new three-rotor 13G Wankel engine. Both cars entered in 1986 failed to finish Le Mans because of gearbox problems, the first time Mazdaspeed had not finished there; in 1987 one finished 7th overall, and in 1988 a lone 757 placed 15th overall ahead of two newer 767s.
