Then the rotary fires up with its smooth, distinctive note, and suddenly this little coupe feels even more special. Light, precise, and beautifully engineered, it was a rare car even when new — and today it feels almost mythical. Featured in \u003cem\u003eJay Leno’s Garage\u003c\/em\u003e, the Cosmo represents a bold moment when Mazda backed revolutionary engineering and created one of the most important Japanese sports cars of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Real Car\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1968 Mazda Cosmo Sport 110S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine:\u003c\/strong\u003e 982 cc twin-rotor Wankel rotary, naturally aspirated (front-mounted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 81 kW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrivetrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rear-wheel drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early rotary-engine icon; lightweight sports coupe; futuristic styling; rare low-volume production; featured on \u003cem\u003eJay Leno’s Garage\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMazda’s Rotary Breakthrough\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cosmo Sport was one of the cars that defined Mazda’s identity. At a time when most manufacturers were turning away from rotary development, Mazda committed to refining the Wankel engine and proving it could work in a proper sports car. The result was a sleek, technically fascinating coupe that stood apart from anything else on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat rarity and ambition are a huge part of the Cosmo’s appeal today. It was never a mass-market machine, and its rotary powertrain gives it a character all its own. This Hot Wheels Pop Culture release celebrates that legacy perfectly, capturing a car that is equal parts engineering milestone and collector dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3+ years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssortment:\u003c\/strong\u003e HXD63-956G – Pop Culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e JBL66\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear of Release:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHot Wheels Premium cars are not compatible with Hot Wheels track playsets.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hot Wheels Premium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48502780821753,"sku":"HXD63-956G : JBL66","price":13.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/6747\/3984\/files\/JBL66_01.webp?v=1780983377","url":"https:\/\/www.toys101.co.nz\/products\/hot-wheels-pop-culture-1968-mazda-cosmo-sport","provider":"Toys101","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
