Those of you who are fans of “death metal” – an exciting subgenre of heavy metal – will be familiar with the hellish screams and howls of the singers. And it is possible that they remind you in an important way of the howl of the car mechanics that stars in this video. Is about a Mazda RX-7 FD whose original mechanics 13B of two rotors, has been replaced by a new engine built from six individual rotors. Absolute madness that screams like a soul possessed by Beelzebub himself. You need to hear it.
This creation is work of Pulse Performance Race Engineering (PPRE), a New Zealand workshop specializing in rotary engines. The modular nature of rotary engines allows engines with more than two or three rotors to be built – there has never been a production engine with more than three rotors – and in this case, we are talking about six rotors for a displacement of about 3.9 liters displacement. This powerplant is built from new parts and features high compression rotors, plus a high pressure oil pump and many additional internal modifications.
The engine is bulky and is at least as long as a straight six.
The motor develops a power of 820 hp, without any supercharging. The engine runs perfectly, has a stable idle and uses a bespoke electronic control unit. PPRE manufactures them to measure and He sells them through his website., for a price that starts at 107,800 New Zealand dollars (63,700 euros at the current exchange rate). With six individual intake butterflies and a handcrafted exhaust, the engine’s guttural scream is like no other. It’s sharp It’s wild, it’s visceraland is reminiscent of the competition Mazda 787B.
Decidedly, turn up the volume to hear it in action.
