Mazda 787b Insane idle and acceleration sound! マツダロータリー

Although the 787 and 787B lacked the single lap pace of World Championship competitors such as Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, and Porsche, as well as Japanese Championship competitors Nissan and Toyota, the 787s had reliability that allowed them to contend for their respective championships. The reliability of the cars eventually paid off in 1991 when a 787B driven by Johnny Herbert, Volker Weidler, and Bertrand Gachot went on to victory in the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans. As of 2020, this remains the only victory by a car not using a reciprocating engine design, a record likely to never be repeated due to regulation changes until recently. For the 2020–2021 season a new FIA Prototype Hypercar class will now allow a Rotary engine under the NSU Wankel patents. It was the first victory by a Japanese manufacturer, and the only such victory until Toyota won the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans.
マツダ 787 およびその派生車である 787B は、日本の自動車メーカー マツダが、1990 年から 1991 年まで世界スポーツカー選手権、全日本スポーツプロトタイプカー耐久選手権、およびル・マン 24 時間レースで使用するために開発したグループ C スポーツ プロトタイプ レーシング カーです。 Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA) グループ C のレギュレーションと国際モーター スポーツ協会 (IMSA) の GTP レギュレーションを組み合わせた 787 は、世界選手権と日本選手権に参戦した最後のワンケル ロータリー レーシング カーでしたR26Bエンジン。
787と787Bは、メルセデス・ベンツ、ジャガー、ポルシェなどの世界選手権のライバルや、日本選手権のライバルである日産やトヨタのシングルラップペースに欠けていましたが、787はそれぞれのチャンピオンシップを争える信頼性を備えていました。車の信頼性は、ジョニー・ハーバート、フォルカー・ヴァイドラー、ベルトラン・ガショーが運転する787Bが1991年のル・マン24時間レースで勝利を収めた1991年に最終的に報われました。 2020年現在、レシプロエンジンを採用していない車による唯一の勝利であり、最近までのレシプロの変更により、2度と繰り返されることのない記録です。 2020-2021 シーズンでは、新しい FIA プロトタイプ ハイパーカー クラスで、NSU ヴァンケルの特許に基づいてロータリー エンジンが許可されます。これは日本のメーカーによる初の勝利であり、トヨタが2018年のル・マン24時間で優勝するまでの唯一の勝利でした。

Idles like a big block V8, revs like a sports bike, sounds like an F1 car on wide open throttle. What a special machine.
-
One of the most pissed off machines at idle, but majestic at redline. Pure bliss!
-
I was at in Le Mans in ‘91 ; in the middle of the night, all you could see was the head lights approaching and a brief glimpse as a car passed..however as the Mazda approached, the unbelievable aural sound as it came towards you was unbelievable and unforgettable… and that was over 30 years ago…. Truly awesome
-
LFA and 787b are probably my most favorite music
-
That first clip was insane... hitting the limiter right when coming out of the corner, shifting up after a slight delay, and flooring it again. What a thing it must be to witness. Best sounding car ever, period. Nothing beats it, whatever the car "category" (street cars, race cars, etc).
-
This engine has more V10 sound than the V10 itself. Astonishing.
-
This is probably like the most glorious sound in all of motorsports. I've yet to find something that sounds as beautiful.
-
The cuteness of the Miata, the drift of the RX-7, and the sheer beast power of the 787B. The Mazda trinity
-
IMO, the reason I like how the 787b sounds more than v10 f1 cars is that it had a deep rumbly idle while having a screaming redline. No other car/engine does that.
-
Little known fact, this rotary powered monster with the smallest displacement engine, achieved the highest top speed"in it's class, C" and worst fuel economy of any other car in LeMans history.😁
-
1:14 It sounds like they've trapped a demon in that engine block!
-
that mazda is actually insanity. What a perfect engine and exhaust
-
the echoing at 1:05 is so good it sounds like a group of f1's.
-
It’s so satisfying when a car sounds like a beast waiting to be let out of its cage, but then sounds like a beautiful orchestra while racing.
-
Certainly the loudest internal combustion engine in a car that I've stood next to. Great experience at night at Le Mans with the sound and fury and the brake discs glowing bright red entering a bend. Pete.
-
Best sounding race car ever
-
I absolutely love the rims on this car, too. What a great look with those gold five stars.
-
Love that there's other cars in some of the clips, so that you really get a feel for how unique & awesome the 787b sounded.
-
Was at Le Mans opposite the pits, when this little Mazda went screaming past towards the end of the 24 hours, making up time on the leading Mercedes which was stuck there with a mechanical. The cheer when the Mazda went past, after having made up the lap deficit was amazing. Especially exciting as Herbert was driving, a fellow Essex-Boy!

That's why I'm a loyal Mazda customer.. they never tried to be the top brand in terms of profit.. They tried to make unique things for the masses and that's why I love them. They watched us not only as money but as enthusiasts too till today.. they are one of the last auto manufacturers that do that if not the last
