"Mad Mike" Whiddett Revolutionizes Drift Cars with World's First 5-Rotor Wankel
Professional drifter "Mad Mike" Whiddett has unveiled the "MADAZ 787D," a drift car built around the world's first 5-rotor Wankel rotary engine. Developed in partnership with Kiwi Wankel specialists Pulse Performance Race Engineering, the engine features a fifth rotor and a total displacement of 3,270 cc. While power figures have not been released, the car is designed to be loud and rule-breaking, with a naturally aspirated engine. The car was unveiled at Whiddett's own event and is a personal project, not sponsored by Red Bull.
