That thing sounds killer!!

I wish the RX-7 version they have in Japan remained with the stock body panels. Not so crazy about the body kit they've put on it.

But that 4 rotor!!! Oh man!!!

I still remember when I got to hear the 787-B fire up.
I've got a video of it somewhere. I was right beside the exhaust pipes. That thing made your hair stand up!!! Absolutely screams when you start to rev it a bit!!

I wonder how this 4 rotor is configured as opposed to the R26 4-rotor???

Cubic inches = Torque and the 4 rotor has lots of cubes in rotary land. It like a 7 or 8 litre V8. The 787B non turbo has 700BHP and 841NM of torque!
