    The Mercedes C111 II was a four Wankel rotary built in 1970. Predates the Mazda 787 by quite a few years.

    Yes, except the 787 was a very competitive race car and won Le Mans and was then promptly outlawed by the FIA.

    There's a huge gap from a test bed to a successful race winner.

    IMO the best sounding race I've ever heard was some old Alfa straight 8 GP car from the thirties that was doing exhibition runs at the Adelaide GP in '91.

    Spine tingling sound

    Fangio was running around in an old W196 (I think) too, and that smelt the best

    A combination of castor, alcohol and toxic substances

    John Goss's XJS Jag from the '84 Touring Car Championship sounded bloody awsome at Bathurst that year too.
    It started off with the growl of two straight sixes in stereo, then somewhere around 6-6500 it changed to a scream
