Cooler than a BMW?

Ok what is so significant about an old GTP car? Mazda campaigned them for what 4-5 years but I don't think they every won at LeMans.

Not cooler than e30

Mazda is the only Japanese car company to EVER win the 24hrs of Le Mans out right. With that car...or one just like it.

Classic sound from that Wankel Rotary engine

Takes me back to GT4 and GT5 days when i used to mess around on the Test oval haha

Fuckin' way cooler than any BMW ever imo. Mazda 787B is It.

They ran that chassis for two years. 1990, and 1991. They had the 767 in '88 and 767B in '89.

In 1991, the 787B won it and I think it was 787B-002 (out of 3 cars)
That win is the reason why the wankel has been banned by FIA from the 24 hours of Le Mans...

The person who drove it across the finish line drove it for something along the lines of 5000km that race. It was a LOT of laps.

Don't start spewing that rubbish...

Sort of. The car set a new race record of 362 laps/4932.2km, which was for the whole 24 hours, not one drivers stint. Johnny Herbet did double stint the finish though, and collapsed from dehydration after the race, missing the podium celebrations.

i saw an rx8 with a turbo 26b engine swap here at a shop in maryland. pretty damn nuts.

i'd settle for a n/a 20b... lol.

i love the sound of rotaries.

You just lost all respect.

I made a personal assumption based on foggy memory. Honestly The one a year how many times did various Porsche 956/62 variants win 5, I think of the top of my head.

Jonny Hebert is like any other professional driver, he'll drive if your paying him. Great driver but still what's the significance of the clip?

It just sounds soo fucking badass. I think the McLaren's S70/2 or the LF-A's 1LR-GUE is the only engine that sounds almost as cool.
