Could it be? 4-Rotor RX-7 or April Fools?

Haha, "Mazda Head Engineer Apru Furu"

Love the little trombone sliding intakes BTW. Must make beautiful music.... say what?

The article got spelling issues, besides "Greater Hong Kong Motor Car Show"? Last time I checked, Hong Kong wasn't very big to begin with.

Raptor2k

^Hong Kong's pretty damn big.

Ajax

Yea.. too bad it is a joke.. that motor looks nice tho :b

rotarygod

That's the 787B engine. 700 naturally aspirated horsepower.

Hong Kong is a small island (1,076 square kilometers) with a very high population density. Calling it the "Greater Hong Kong Motor Car Show" is like calling the "Greater Hawaii Motor Car Show". It's a little redundant. Hawaii is 28,337 km² in comparison.

Ike

Uhhh, you live in Canada, the only thing big there is your women and you boring wide open spaces. You probably don't even have any pollution there, what a joke!

^A little harsh...coming from someone in Milwaukee. Too bad this article is more than likely just an elabortate joke. It would be lovely to see a mass produced 4 rotor engine. MPG would more than likely be a joke unless they engineered a way to only have 1-2 rotors spinning during cruise, and the rest available for WOT.

rotarygod

That engine got about 4 mpg at full throttle.

saturn

Haha, he made fun of Canada for not having pollution. What's next? Mocking them for their lower crime rate, universal health care, and generally pleasant disposition?

snizzle

It would have been more believable if they had said 3 rotor. Well, even then....

mike1324a

Thats why i hate this day! We all know these are jokes but it would be sweet if it was for real. A 4 rotor would make one hellova halo car! Mid-engine, 4 rotor..... Anyone else seeing what in seeing? Supercar, and with 600-700hp... I'm seeing a supercar that could compete with any in the entire world.

hondasr4kids

**** the "fuel Line" on a 787B is about 2" in diameter. But yeah that is the 787B motor. and yes Honk Kong is a small place but is so freaking crowded. I hate going there while in deployment.

T-von

Read the entire article, April Fools. They do this evey year.

Not exactly. He was saying that Canada is such a barren wasteland with so few people, so few cars and so little industry that there ISN'T anything to produce pollution.

Lower crime rate... well if your neighbor is 3 miles away...

Health care and auto insurance (except for Ontario) does sound pretty good... although Canada's health care system does have a few kinks.

Pleasant disposition? English Canadians? A bit subjective at best...

saturn

Yeah, I knew where he was going with it. I was just trying to appease the Canucks. Don't want them invading or anything. They're already amassing near the border.

Japan8

^^ Lol. :d:
