Default Mazda 787b

Kinda crappy video, just shows it starting up, but listen to the beast at idle.

cams you say?

what, pray tell, are these cam things?


its a ROTARY engine.. there are no cams in a rotary engine.

the engine in the 787B had 4 rotors, and 3 spark plugs per rotor.
the engine looks like it comes out of a page of of a sci-fi comic book.

I'm pretty sure epi was joking. I personally think they installed the cams upside down

i know.. i just wanted to post a pic of that engine... its crazy-lookin!

anyhow the 787B fiercely overpowered its competition.. it won by brute force...

after that rotaries were basically written out of the rules
