700 hp Mazda RX7 Seen on Hoonigan | Nasty Tuner Car!

[@doctoraugustuskwembe]

yay, no LS motor in sight.....

[@AutotopiaLA]

Nope

[@shiffterCL]

Missed opportunity to build a good car.

[@connoisseuroftigolbitts]

AutotopiaLA LS swaps are go to resorts in today’s motorsports especially in drifting for instant torque but It’s nice seeing an rx7 with its original 1.3L engine

[@bretd.6781]

I’ve always loved those since high school when they came out. Something about the smooth lines and the turbo wars that were happening at the time with Z’s and Supras. One of each please! Great ride and passion for the hp. Thank you for not mentioning price. Who cares anyway, that thing can rip tires for half a block! Don’t appease these guys with the price of everything. If you have to ask well....

[@AutotopiaLA]

Great comment! I love what John did with the car. And 14 years of build is patience I can’t understand.

[@WaffenSSaregods]

[@tomw6719]

Always loved the rotary engine, nice build. Congratulations.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’ve had no real experience with them and this one obviously blew me away!

[@rodcognito002]

Awesomeness. Me and a guy I know bought couple 1st gens. We field rallied them. Rubbn Racing. We had blast. Had 150 in each car. They ruff any ways. Little rotory turn some huge rpm.

Love the way this RX7 is put together. Legitimate heavy horsepower ....

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed!

[@N7eptune]

Beautiful! Rotary rules - there is nothing like a rotary that loves to rev, and rev ....and rev some more. Awesome! Thank you.

[@AutotopiaLA]

You’re welcome and believe me I had a blast shooting this and learning about rotary’s and how much power can be made.

[@jeremy2demain421]

Wow thanks for the review of this beast, not so common to see them around, but when you do see a nice modified rx7 around it's like seeing something out of this world.

[@DriversSide]

Super clean! On this particular car I like the lenses better than I would pop up headlights

[@lsvip1820]

That’s a great tuner car. Absolutely in love

[@AutotopiaLA]

Ross Lynn yeah Ross, it’s a cool build. So much time and passion put into it.

[@MarMPB]

It was very nice to see another type of custom car here! I think that what always must stand out is the quality of the build. And this RX7 is very cool. But since I saw a Nissan GT-R with 1000+hp explode it’s left rear brake disc and flip over at the end of a half mile pull event here In Brazil, I always pay attention to that necessary upgrade.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Totally agree

[@arrivendrive6831]

Nice video, good review and one badass build. I am a rotard and own a fd with 425 rwhp with no traction control. I spin the tires on second gear rolls. I believe with the setup of the fd reviewed 700whp is very believable. I am sure traction control, good sticky tires and boost by gear can make this happen. John I am with you I love all perfomance cars and I also own a muscle car. Your diversity has motivated me to subscribe to your channel.

Total monster!

[@RETMTM]

Interestingly I heard "This is definitely a 700HP car. You can feel it." when it sounded like 350 - 400HP. Shortly after they discuss the boost and traction control, wind the boost up and fish it down the road saying "So that's what it's like with the boost dialed up." 🤔

[@AutotopiaLA]

Far from 350-400. He had the dyno chart on his phone and it was 700 hp. Don’t have to believe it but it’s truth.

[@RETMTM]

AutotopiaLA I didn't doubt the capability of the motor. I've seen the descriptive video by the builders. I simply pointed out that it wasn't running the 725hp when it was bum dyno'd. This is an amazing car. The engineering and fabrication is mind boggling. One of the most unique builds I have seen.

[@redbic420]

Wow that thing sounds freakin rotarded 😉😉 I'm not really a tuner fan but that's a really nice build, super freakin clean especially the engine bay... and you can see the guys passion for his build I respect that 100% keep up the great content Sean!!

Nice!!! But everytime i see a fd rx7 i always think that a big wing belongs on it

[@brianawd]

Turbo technology and engine management has come a long way. Making it possible for a rotary to make big power and torque. In the past you had to run a monster turbo just to make the power that then killed low end torque. Not anymore
