Just for comparison, even a 4 rotor engine is small...


MAZDA! that's all.

That's a bad *** Mclaren you got there. THe green and what ever color makes me think of the glory days of the Mclaren back in the 90's, the days when I was cheerleading for our soccer team in japan. ALso I didnt know the Mclaren used a rotary as their engine, but then again Mclaren is the only company in the world that uses it. I think they should of just went with the BMW engine they orginally had in the F1

Wait... I know Mercedes played with rotary but the mcclaran that that model faithfully reproduces didn't have an AMG-badged rotary. The orange/green 787 is amazing. What is the scale? RC?

Oops. That cf car is not a mcclaran. The F1 had a V12 BMW engine. That is a V10 AMG. Zonda?

Yes, it's a Zonda R. The confusion is the AMG engine that is being used.
