Drifting professional "Mad" Mike Whiddett has unveiled the Mazda 787D, the world's first car with a five-rotor Wankel engine. This project pays tribute to the legendary Mazda 787B, which won the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans and remains the only non-piston-powered vehicle to achieve this feat.
Professional drifting competitor "Mad" Mike Whiddett has built the world's first five-rotor car, called the 787D, featuring a 3.3-liter engine. The vehicle, based on the Mazda RX-7, boasts a tube chassis and a radically altered engine. While no power output details are available, a video confirms the engine sounds monstrous. Whiddett premiered the car at an event in New Zealand and plans to use it for drifting. Hot Wheels has also released a miniature version of the 787D.
