Mazda 767

The Mazda 767 is one of 180 Mazda models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The record places its introduction in 1988. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Mazda 767 properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 1980s were the decade of turbocharging, electronic fuel injection and the first mass digital engine management — Group B rallying and hot hatches defined its performance culture. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Subaru Subaru Legacy, the Lexus Lexus LS, the Ferrari Ferrari F40 — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Mazda 767 reads like this: the record lists its engine as gasoline engine; quoted output is 767: 500 hp (373 kW) @ 8,500 rpm / 767B: 630 hp (470 kW) @ 9,000 rpm; kerb weight is recorded at 800 kg (1,764 lb). Worked together, those figures give roughly 959 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the Mazda story

Within Mazda's own catalogue the Mazda 767 sits alongside the Mazda BT-50, the Mazda T2000, the Efini MS-8, the Mazda 121. The record names the Mazda 757 as its predecessor and the Mazda 787 as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Nigel Stroud.

On the record

The Mazda 767 also has a competition record: 0 recorded wins from 38 starts. A race history changes how a car should be valued — competition machines appreciate on provenance, not depreciation curves. For the years the United States federal record covers, EPA-rated economy comes in at 25 mpg combined, which works out near $2,450 a year in fuel at current prices.

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Mazda 767 costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
