1993 Mazda HR-X 2

Another hydrogen rotary engine in a sedan shaped package. The entire body was recyclable. Invented by James Dyson, the first bagless vacuum cleaner the Dyson G-Force won the International Design Fair prize in Japan. The Japanese were so im­pressed by the pink and lavender machine, it became a status symbol in homes and sold for $2,000 each.

In the Mazda HR-X 2, the designers sought a new (rather disconcerting) way of expressing Japanese culture in the automobile.

The HR-X 2 is an evolution of the HR-X with hydrogen rotary engined prototype exhibited at 1991 Tokyo Motorshow.
