1967 Mazda RX87 prototype. Once in production, it was called the Luce Coupe.

But what about my second question?
Locked until your next reply.

Do you mean that that specific car in the picture was called the Cosmo Coupe, and that it carried the rotary engine logo on its grille?

Thanks for the point.

I was confused about the badging: there is a picture online where this car is badged as RX 87, also with the prototype grille. But after a good look, I noticed that it didn't had the whitewall tyres.

Anyway, good looking car indeed.

This Bertone design seems to have been influenced by the 2nd generation Corvair.

Is it a re-post?

Not sure it's exactly the same car as the earlier puzzle; grille is different?

Right you are - there were two of them - each slightly different.
