Mad Mike Red Bull Revealing

Wow sounds incredible....

Redline this is the same dude with the white and camo wide-body FD?
Did they re-do the car or build another?

yeah N/A 4 rotor. NUTZ!
 
Not much power for a 4 rotor, but it's still a cool car. They claim just shy of 500hp, Mazda's 4 rotor made 900hp. Drag race guys are making 400+whp with n/a 2 rotors. I guess that's typical for Aus/NZ guys though haha.
 
i believe they were going for reliability... cuz to replace a 4 rotor eccentric shaft,which i believe, just isnt that eazy..

haha yeah I guess Mazda wasn't really looking for reliability when they built that engine to race the 24hrs of LeMans and won. Pretty much any n/a rotary is about as reliable as it gets, and the only way to ruin an eccentric shaft is to run the engine out of oil.

yeah but also the R26B had a bit more tech on it than your average joe to make that 700hp. Such as those variable length intake trumpets that changed length based on rpm. or the fact that it had 3 spark plugs per rotor, or custom mazda cast aluminum rotors with much higher compression than available to you or me.

The variable length intake is for broader powerband, nothing to do with peak power. Where did you see that they had aluminum rotors? Rx8 rotors are probably the same 10.0:1 compression and way lighter than rx7 rotors. 3 spark plugs isn't needed, we made 1000hp with 1 plug per rotor on a turbo 13b. Not trying to start an argument, just saying that I was dissappointed when I saw the numbers.
