RX-7 Trivia & Fun Facts

Mazda licensed an engine in 1961 that scored deep marks into its own housings within hours of running. NSU gave up on it. Citroën gave up on it. Mazda spent seventeen years making it durable, then built a low two-seat coupé around it and sold that car for twenty-four years. Ninety verified questions across three generations — the seals that nearly ended it, the pair of turbochargers brought in one after the other, and the four-rotor prototype that won Le Mans outright.

Q46 · PART 6 · LE MANS 1991
Which Mazda won Le Mans outright in 1991?
The 787B — a closed Group C prototype, not a version of the road car. The 767B came before it and the RX-792P after; neither won. Saying that the RX-7 won Le Mans turns a real win into a false sentence.
