The 10A twin-rotor free-revving Wankel motor carried the car to 100 km/h in 10.8 seconds and had a top speed of around 177 km/h.
The 2+2 coupe was produced from 1968 to 1973. The R100 was known as the Familia Presto Rotary in Japan and was known as the R100 in export markets.
Mazda used the Familia Rotary Coupe in motorsports. It won its first outing at the Grand Prix of Singapore in April 1969. It was raced on the touring car endurance challenge at Spa, the Spa 24 Hours. The Familia also placed fifth at the Marathon de la Route at Nürburgring in 1969. At the Suzuka All-Japan Grand Cup, it easily outpaced the rest of the field.
