			Shortly, in 1982 after the introduction of the 12A-Turbo rotary engine for the Mazda HB Cosmo, it became the fastest Japanese production car. Mazda soon lost this title to the Nissan Skyline, which compelled them to put the 12A-Turbo in the series III [[Mazda RX-7\|RX-7]]. This made the RX-7 much more attractive as a sports car and caused the attention to shift away from the Cosmo.
