Why are US T2's Labeled T2?
the USA turbo models all are called Turbo II, and the common story is that since its Mazda's second turbo rotary its called Turbo II. this part is fine. the 84-85 12A Turbo, would be the Turbo 1
fine right?
but in Japan, the FC was a GT, GT-R, GT-X, GT-Limited and Cabriolet. In the US we didn't get the Turbo 1, so they only called it a T2 in the market that had no idea what a T1 was.

Don't forget Infini I-IV!
Perhaps Turbo 2 is supposed to mean turbo 2nd gen? Although I too have also always thought it was the 2nd turbo rotary. The 86 Cosmo had the same engine as the s4 turbo though.

Pretty sure the Aus delivered ones had a turboII sticker on them but were never actually referred to as a turbo 2. I just put it down to everything in the 80s and 90s would have a turbo sticker or badge if it had a turbo, and the roman numerals looked snappy in the eyes of the marketing dept
