Cruising with the top down this summer? While you’re enjoying that breeze, just keep
in mind that the design you love today had some very cool beginnings.
Back in 1988, Mazda engineer Takaharu Kobayakawa showed up
to his favorite ski resort in the RX-7 Convertible with its top down. Seems a little crazy, right? Surprisingly, no…
We’d call it smart.
With its heater vents carefully aimed, this pivotal moment led to his
invention of the wind blocker.
The design has been imitated by almost all convertible
manufacturers since.
