600 ponies from what I can tell.

You have to remember that the 26b was designed to run for longevity, where the one in the redbull car can be rebuilt from time to time. When palying at LeMans, its all about keeping the thing together for 24 hrs straight under some pretty grueling conditions.

Then once these engines were running so well they banned them from competition in LeMans...


In 1991, Mazda became the first and only Japanese car manufacturer to win the prestigous 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. Using the Wankel rotary engine, it was also the only non-piston engine car to ever win. All three Mazda 787B cars to enter the race finished the gruelling event in respectable 1st, 6th and 8th positions. Of a total of 46 entrants, only 12 cars officially finished the race, 4 did not make the required classification, 22 did not finish, while the remaining eight either failed to start or qualify. So successful was Mazda’s entry in the 1991 race that the rules for subsequent races were changed to ban the rotary engine from competing in subsequent Le Mans endurance races. At the end of the season, the FIA (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile) banned the use of Wankel-type rotary engines in the racing series which it governed to solely allow cars with the 3.5L F1 engine to compete.

There really is no designation, as this is a modified 13b sandwiched together. The company making it may have a name for it, but its not a 26b
