Behold The Fury Of A Three-Rotor Mazda RX-8 Rally Car

This 20B-powered RX-8 rally car makes a superb noise that you won't forget in a hurry

As far as we’re concerned, rear-wheel drive rally cars are the coolest rally cars. That’s why this Mazda RX-8 first caught our attention, before we even noticed what powers it. And what it’s packing under the bonnet is quite special: a three-rotor 20B rotary engine, pushing out somewhere in the region of 370bhp.

As you’d expect, it sounds utterly, mesmerisingly awesome, letting out the kind of shriek that’d make an N/A V12 blush. The car is driven in various Rally Sprint series events in New Zealand by a chap called Markus Van Klink, who clearly doesn’t hang about.

This is one of those times you’ll be wanting to find a nice pair of headphones or some speakers. Trust me.

I’ve seen this car up close and personal and may I say it is up there with the best sounding cars i’ve ever heard. You can often hear it for miles down the road.

why do rally drivers drift on concrete where the ideal line and strategy change from momentum and wheel speed to grip and the traditional racing line?
