To my knowledge Mazda never made them. This one was built custom in Australia. There is also one in Japan built by Scoot. It is a work of art--something like 500+ whp, but I don't know if this has been verified. Check this out.

Mazda raced a car called the 787B (which had a 4 rotor) In LeMans it was the only rotory powered car to win a major race. I think it won at Laguna Seca.

Damn you beat me to it. Yeah, it used to dominate when it first came out. It's in Gran Turismo series if you want to look it up. 2.6L of Wankel power!!!

Damn, I miss my RX7.....

Heres some pics of the Norton rotary motorcycles. The Grand Prix bikes sound wicked. They banned from racing as well. I have a sound clip somewhere I'll dig up. Anyone tell me how to post up a sound clip? Will photobucket work?
