The Mazda RX500 was a revolutionary rotary engined concept first shown to the public way back in 1970. Along with it's unique rotary engine (producing an impressive 300bhp/ton near the bonkers 14000 rpm red line), the RX500 featured many of Mazda's technological innovations, such as upwards opening 'butterfly' doors and multicoloured tail lights that changed colour depending on whether you accelerated or braked.
The car was forgotten in a warehouse for 30 years before being restored to it's former glory and exhibited at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2009.
