Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). The Mazda RX-500 is a Japanese mid-engined concept car first shown to the public at the 1970 Tokyo Motor Show. It is a two-door sports car, accessed by forward-swinging butterfly-wing doors.

The RX-500 was promoted as a mobile test bed for road safety, including multi-coloured lights at the rear which indicated whether the car was speeding up, braking or cruising.[1]

The car weighed 1,873 lb (850 kg), and was powered by a 982cc twin rotor 10A Wankel engine that was mounted forward of the rear axles, producing 247 hp (184 kW). The engine was accessed via gulling doors.[2]

The car was restored for the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show[3] and is now on display at Hiroshima City Transportation Museum, and was shown at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK in 2014.[4]
