The RX-7 That Won the 24 Hours of Spa - Japanese Nostalgic Car

  • 225-240hp @ 8,000rpm
  • 900kg

From Wiki:

The RX-7 also fared well at the Spa 24 Hours race. Three Savanna/RX-7s were entered in 1981 by Tom Walkinshaw Racing. After hours of battling with several BMW 530i's and Ford Capris, the RX-7 driven by Pierre Dieudonné and Tom Walkinshaw won the event. Mazda had turned the tables on BMW, who had beaten Mazda's Familia Rotary to the podium eleven years earlier at the same event.

You know? I was going to post this car last week a few Mazda cars I suggested. Good choice. Now, to get that Allan Moffat car in there.
 
Heh, was going to post this after Evo released the video. Gets my vote for the sound alone.
 
Oh I like the exterior on the car but I hate the big tachometer in front of the air intake :( But you have my vote
