5 Rotor 787D Melts Tires for the First Time

[@Johnwalter1044]

I remember as a kid, i thought how cool it would be if someone drifted a F1 V10 car. Looks like my prayers have been answered!

[@432htz3]

Yeah it def sounds really similar to F1 V10 although the whine of the straight cut gears of the gear box does detract from the sound a bit. Just needs to rev a further 6000 - 8000 rpm above what it is currently doing. 2004 - 2005 F1 revved to between 18,000 and 20,000 rpm. Fricken sick car though . The tone of the 5 rotor at these revs is sweet.

[@jordigerards]

​@@432htz3should look up the fornula supra, it has a judd v10 and is both a drift and time attack car

[@tommallory4841]

Check out Ryan tuerck judd v10 supra. Need to get these cars together!

[@tozkal96]

@@432htz3 it does the combustion like a v10, five times per rev. thats why it sounds similar i think.

[@Mclaren_Mercedes_MP4_16]

@@yjkader i get what your saying but it ends up being 3270cc and id say it would be called a 33b if mazda produced them, a 20b is 1962cc and mazda call it a 20b. and a 12a is 1146cc and mazda call it a 12a

The wizardry your team has pulled to make a 5-Rotor sound like the wild child of an Audi Group B car and a v10 F1 car from the late 90s and early 2000s is out of this world!!! Officially my fav build of your fleet. Cannot WAIT to see this thing in proper action.

[@theTUBEboy44]

Fitting description

[@briangilman1937]

The sound of the 5 Rotary is glorious! The thing just sings

[@ark-mark1]

The closer the Mad Mike phenomenom comes to perfection, you'll see that what's cool is not a matter of taste but it's science. Just like there is no better than Audi 5 cylinder what comes to what's cool in piston engines, there really cannot be a rotary any more cool than a 5 rotor 787D! Congrats, that really is something else!

[@harrison00xXx]

"Just like there is no better than Audi 5 cylinder what comes to what's cool in piston engines" You sure? A lot of still awesome piston engines regarding to sportscars exist... Toyota Inline 6... you pretty sure know as 2JZ Nissans Inline 6, you maybe also know well as RB26 DETT Hondas Inline 4 in 2 and 2,2l for the S2000, F20C especially revving up to 9k rpm easily, and 240 HP+ is a nice figure for a 2l NA engine. And lets not forget crazy builds such as 1,9 TDIs fully blown going 500HP+, or even my 2010 Impreza Diesel (Boxer Diesel,...) which is blown up to 260 HP and 450 Nm with a slightly bigger turbo and STi intercooler. My summer car, a 1,9 TDi (1Z, 1996) Golf 3 Cabrio is "just" at around 130 HP, but this engine is also a damn tank in terms of reliability and low rpm torque (even more torque than my Boxer Diesel!), its extremely efficient (4-4,5l/100 km!), has already over 500k km on it after a total rebuild at around 400k km to make it last as long as possible. To be honest, i would even say classic (AFN, ALE etc.) 1,9 TDi engines are.... the best of the best when it comes to "coolness"... love this rumbling, massage seat replacing, black smoke line pulling little block having such potential (and reliability!)

[@jacobshakespeare2715]

Mike this has to be the best sounding car you've ever magically engineered

[@themajesticmanic]

Bro, I've been driving 30+ years, It's my favorite thing to do. Been watching WRC, FD, NASCAR as long as they've existed. I have NEVER felt so out of control...MAD RESPECT!!!

[@RobertGracie]

Let me get this straight....you put a 5 Rotor Engine into a 787 Chassis....okay Mike, thats MAD AF mate utterly MAD! you sir are the king of MADNESS!

[@benchapman6263]

New fav car from mad mikes stable hands down sounds the best imo, props to all involved in this build👌

[@identiticrisis]

The intake sound is pure V10 F1! At low rpm, below 3000 - 4000, you really get that 5 cylinder sound come through plain as day. After that, it's pure, crisp, eardrum-tearing shriek that only a rotary can do. I like that comment about having all the rotaries, 1 to 6 in one place!

[@Apexseal1]

need to get rob dahms 12 rotor down somehow, then you'd really have everything that exists!

[@Einimas]

15cyl?

[@SolaricSage116]

​​​@@Apexseal1Then we need the 8, 10 and 16 rotor ones to somehow exist.

[@realchiefyt-envtuber9903]

I have been a fan of Mike for a while, but this just fuels me to work harder to be as half as awesome as this! IT SOUNDS LIKEA FERRARI V10!!! Made my day

[@giorx5]

Shakedown means a different thing for that man. What a marvelous sound that thing produces! Very close to the original 787B. Kudos for making that monster and thanks a lot for this video!

[@jameshatton4211]

It's got a LOT of torque! Hooly dooley brother that's wild! 🤟 Yes it's 5 rotars but it's also 3.2L of capacity now and that's gotta account for something

[@Smaaaaaash]

As a first gen RS3 owner, I appreciate your love for the Audi 5 pot. This engine really does perfectly blend the purr of the i5 with the rasp of a rotary (and occasionally a bit of F1 V10 in the upper rev ranges). Fantastic stuff.

[@sahalin12345]

Like WTF!? It seems like MM can't build a cooler car each time, but somehow he still delivers each time. This is purely genius!
