I am Japanese. I have been an owner of EunosCosmo (13B) for 20 years. (It ranked 1990-2010, I owned 13B-Engine, Classic-Red.) I appreciate being loved in your motherland. It was really cool car. The fuel economy is bad, though! Thank you for streaming. I love you forever. My favorite car. Eunos Cosmo.
Yeah, that’s a luxury, even today, but cars like the Lexus ls, the GTR, the Toyota chaser and higher end LandCruisers also had this, those were elite cars of the time…
This comment is only 13 years too late - not bad for me. This was a wonderful vehicle: I had the priliege of shooting the launch commercial attached to the end of the video (from about 7:35 to the end). We shot the commercial by Housestead's fort along Hadrian's wall in the North of England, and also a portion - not shown here in the English Lake District. A tough shoot back in early 1990, but great memories, too.
+Tony Allen (crateon) I know--you'd think after investing so much in the car's development, NHTSA and DOT approval would've made been relatively cheap.
Ever since I was 10 I wanted my dad to get one but at that age we don’t understand import laws and such. 30 years later I’m finally going to get to be with the love of my life a 1993 20B on his way to me. Can’t freaking wait!!!!!
This car was bad ass (20B Sequential Turbo). I wanted this car sooo bad back in 1991, but it never came to the US. So instead for my senior graduation I got a 1991 RX-7 Turbo II; no regrets. But this is STILL the car of my dream.
Most people might drem of a ferrari, lamborghini, bugatti and so on. But this here is my dream. An eager dream! That will never be fulfilled with the price of it..
Eunos Cosmo is a blend of fabulous looks, technology and comfort. I can only dream of it. Why do not Mazda make cars like these anymore that are contemporary trendsetters.
I'd love to have one of these in the states, just have to wait a few years for importation. That red suit DK has on is a riot!!! they would never wear anything like that in japan now.
@pottsyxsjado Great this car is from the era when mazda was making a lot of technically advanced cars, wish they would make something like this today, beautiful, fast and luxurious, so clean the design and I think over 300hp, for the time was quite an achievement...
GEEZ! Mazda needs to make a new 929/Eunos Sedan and Coupe. They also need to keep a more upscale look. On a nerdy note, that interior looks like something for ST:TNG. Clean, inviting, purposeful, and quite nice.
illitero Somewhere, someone will want something unique, or similar. Same reason us Americans sometimes swap for Fairlady badges on our Z's, Holden Badges on our mid 2000's Pontiacs. Same reason Australians put Pontiac badges on Holdens.
i could care less about badges im just glad to get good platforms to work with its all about the underpinnings of the car that really matter the rest is style
@derbigpr500 Mazda interiors are not cheap. They are hardly top drawer either. Mazda does not have a reason for an alternate trim level/design for US models. Indeed, it is a MYTH a JDMs are of an inherently higher quality than those sold in the US. The Japanese do keep certain models to themselves. Mazda just stopped doing their best interiors with the Eunos and the 929.
Leonard R rarely come up for sale some people ask ridiculous prices I’ve seen prestine well modded go for 25k aud$ I believe my car hasn’t depreciated since owning it. Not for sale though ever.
You have to hand it to Mazda, the car company run by mad scientists. Twin-turbocharging a rotary? Sure! Why not? What could possibly go wrong? I love Mazda. That said, this car is tragically boring to look at. Considering its speed and how packed with gadgets it is, why didn't they make it look like the Mach 5? ;)
The Toyota Soarer existed first. The SC 400/300 was merely designed for us and by us Americans, and was rebadged and existed every where else as a Toyota Soarer.
When I hug a corner I know I don't want my car sliding sideways! For what reason would you want that? It's NOT the fastest way around a corner, it's tilting on the edge of control and out of control and it burns up tires is just a few miles. How STUPID!

Fuel economy is out of context for legends like these!😂
A touch screen built-in GPS navigation system in 1990. I'm at a loss for words.

Saw one of these in Long Beach last year at JCCS.. so stunning to look at. Wish the mad scientists as Mazda had brought this to the states.
Will be legal for import soon. I'm waiting eagerly.

+Tony Allen (crateon) If Amati had come to fruition....
The interior is still better than in some new high-end cars...
Yeah this was a real gem. Wish Japan made updated versions of these today..
@@kzz8971 ya this car deserves so much more recognition , truely is the Mona Lisa of cars of its era

DriftDominator i agree, this mazda is really a dream car, but not for sale in europe :-(
Haven't seen this one before. Thanks for uploading. Eunos Cosmo was easily the most technically advanced rotary Mazda ever made
too bad they don't make this anymore, this looks really sweet.
ユーノスコスモのドリフトかっけえ
うち持ってますぜ
今度やろっかな

It did. FD gearboxes actually worked. Shame they never came like that from the factory.
I'd love to have one of these in the states, just have to wait a few years for importation. That red suit DK has on is a riot!!! they would never wear anything like that in japan now.
The fact that this had a touch screen sat nav in 1991 blows my mind
They tried an FC manual on the 20B, and the torque the engine made at full throttle sheared off 1st and 2nd gear.
Way ahead of its time.
@pottsyxsjado

best car ever
retro as fuck
Considering the year it was built, this car is FUCKING fast! Mazda better be busy with some more of this...
That car was very ahead of its time
Awesome find...Great vid...Thank you for sharing!!! :D
This car is insane!
thanks for this upload mate great video on my dream car :) Cheers
cosmo .. это шедевер
Got it off Mazda promo information, actually. Supposedly, it's not the power output, it was the torque that caused issues.
土屋さん若いｗｗ
3ローターとか革新的な車なんだけどもやっぱ最近の状況じゃロータリーだとガソリンが減りすぎるんだよなぁ・・・
its really amazing, cause he say at the beginning
Collision in my head.....
Amazing car even had navi!
nice video, what a great car
new dream car
@DocWolph the Millenia also had fairly decent interior quality.
Amazing car.
@pottsyxsjado nope, the luce/929 4door is also turbo rotary without pop up
The Mazda's "Skyline GT-R"
@DocWolph Mazda does have an upscale look today, just not in their american models
love the back seats
Really want one of these cars. 3 rotor power.
For me best car ever made...
Is that Keiichi Tsuchiya? He looks so young! haha
Yes, this is quite an old video.. lol
yeah but sliding around corners is more fun
Awesome car
Nice Mazda Cosmo
@pottsyxsjado ok haha. iv's NEVER seen one drift before. only in this vid.
interesting car
3.7km/liter...
lol
Lol 3:28 with English translation "meaning if you can piggy back bus."

Gran Turismo!
I didnt know about this model, it was a really futuristic high tech, btw in 4:47 is that a cressida or chaser?,
It's impossible to find one!. I want one so bad but can't find one anywhere.
Would have been perfect for nfs underground
thetaingsto Oh God no....
this car on gt2 is very fast cool
lol, Tsuchiya looks bloody young
I think this car looks like a sporty Ford LTD or mercury Grand marquis it just seems real police car like to me?
I want it.
quien en el 2020 no anhela conseguir uno de esto y rutiar
@pottsyxsjado any vids of this drifting for real?
4.50 is that a camaro in japan? hahaha sweet
Yeah! Some covet american cars as much as we do theirs, haha.
illitero Somewhere, someone will want something unique, or similar. Same reason us Americans sometimes swap for Fairlady badges on our Z's, Holden Badges on our mid 2000's Pontiacs. Same reason Australians put Pontiac badges on Holdens.
i could care less about badges im just glad to get good platforms to work with its all about the underpinnings of the car that really matter the rest is style
alldaybored IROC was reviewed on this VHS aswell.
great footage, thanks for sharin. must learn some japanese.
What is the name of the instrumental song that plays in 4 minutes ? Anybody know ?
The Cosmo is not a GT, it's a personal luxury car
why would mazda make this to be a SC 300/400 competitor? the SC's main market was the states, where this was unavailable -_-
perhaps people in japan were importing them

ROFL Tsuchyia in a red suit. :P
@pottsyxsjado yeah thats fuckin ace haha!
Agreed sir
The interior is the most hideous thing ive ever seen in my life, but exterior is epic
Said no car guy ever
ユーノス･コスモ､クーペダイナミズムの印象｡乗車定員は､４人まで🆗です｡
How much are these worth today?

I have it
toukouarigatou!!
Well, on a road you wouldn't drive like that. Also, name one high powered RWD car with no traction control that DOESN'T skid under full power.
-> TV Nihon should translate this! lol
i have a 91 cosmo 13b
damn...20B
20b-tt
若い頃の土屋圭市の顔がRUclipsrの「おのだ」に似ている。
this thing can hit 198 if its a 20b

Where did you get that info? The FC trans works perfect. Now stop saying stupid shit. 280HP is not going to destory a FC transmission.
to bad it only came with an auto matic
but fuck it tips its cool...1990 techno....FORD is fucking OWNING! lol
So ugly. So powerful. I WANT IT
The Toyota Soarer existed first. The SC 400/300 was merely designed for us and by us Americans, and was rebadged and existed every where else as a Toyota Soarer.
Yeah but these look kinda like the 2nd gen soarer not the 3rd gen.
nobody cares. It has nothing to do with this video
