The first shot is of the Hydrogen RX-8.

It starts up but you can't hear the engine much, though it would have been cool to have it peel out of the station... but at 110 hp, I don't think that was going to happen.

This video shows some (japanese) history of the Rotary Engine. some cool Cosmo shots, a few of an RX-7 GTO, the 787-B, and then RX-8 Hydrogen

there is also this link i found while wathing those. its Ann Job talking about the Mazda 5 hydrogen/gasoline/electric hybrid. She's such a hack writer and its clear from hearing her in this piece why.
