Yeah it def sounds really similar to F1 V10 although the whine of the straight cut gears of the gear box does detract from the sound a bit. Just needs to rev a further 6000 - 8000 rpm above what it is currently doing. 2004 - 2005 F1 revved to between 18,000 and 20,000 rpm. Fricken sick car though . The tone of the 5 rotor at these revs is sweet.
@@yjkader i get what your saying but it ends up being 3270cc and id say it would be called a 33b if mazda produced them, a 20b is 1962cc and mazda call it a 20b. and a 12a is 1146cc and mazda call it a 12a
The wizardry your team has pulled to make a 5-Rotor sound like the wild child of an Audi Group B car and a v10 F1 car from the late 90s and early 2000s is out of this world!!! Officially my fav build of your fleet. Cannot WAIT to see this thing in proper action.
Bro, I've been driving 30+ years, It's my favorite thing to do. Been watching WRC, FD, NASCAR as long as they've existed. I have NEVER felt so out of control...MAD RESPECT!!!
The closer the Mad Mike phenomenom comes to perfection, you'll see that what's cool is not a matter of taste but it's science. Just like there is no better than Audi 5 cylinder what comes to what's cool in piston engines, there really cannot be a rotary any more cool than a 5 rotor 787D! Congrats, that really is something else!
"Just like there is no better than Audi 5 cylinder what comes to what's cool in piston engines" You sure? A lot of still awesome piston engines regarding to sportscars exist... Toyota Inline 6... you pretty sure know as 2JZ Nissans Inline 6, you maybe also know well as RB26 DETT Hondas Inline 4 in 2 and 2,2l for the S2000, F20C especially revving up to 9k rpm easily, and 240 HP+ is a nice figure for a 2l NA engine. And lets not forget crazy builds such as 1,9 TDIs fully blown going 500HP+, or even my 2010 Impreza Diesel (Boxer Diesel,...) which is blown up to 260 HP and 450 Nm with a slightly bigger turbo and STi intercooler. My summer car, a 1,9 TDi (1Z, 1996) Golf 3 Cabrio is "just" at around 130 HP, but this engine is also a damn tank in terms of reliability and low rpm torque (even more torque than my Boxer Diesel!), its extremely efficient (4-4,5l/100 km!), has already over 500k km on it after a total rebuild at around 400k km to make it last as long as possible. To be honest, i would even say classic (AFN, ALE etc.) 1,9 TDi engines are.... the best of the best when it comes to "coolness"... love this rumbling, massage seat replacing, black smoke line pulling little block having such potential (and reliability!)
The intake sound is pure V10 F1! At low rpm, below 3000 - 4000, you really get that 5 cylinder sound come through plain as day. After that, it's pure, crisp, eardrum-tearing shriek that only a rotary can do. I like that comment about having all the rotaries, 1 to 6 in one place!
It's got a LOT of torque! Hooly dooley brother that's wild! 🤟 Yes it's 5 rotars but it's also 3.2L of capacity now and that's gotta account for something
I have been a fan of Mike for a while, but this just fuels me to work harder to be as half as awesome as this! IT SOUNDS LIKEA FERRARI V10!!! Made my day
Shakedown means a different thing for that man. What a marvelous sound that thing produces! Very close to the original 787B. Kudos for making that monster and thanks a lot for this video!
As a first gen RS3 owner, I appreciate your love for the Audi 5 pot. This engine really does perfectly blend the purr of the i5 with the rasp of a rotary (and occasionally a bit of F1 V10 in the upper rev ranges). Fantastic stuff.
WoW! What a beast! 5 rotor on this chassis is beyond crazy. The beauty, the heart and soul how well engineered this machine is incredible. 😮💨 The sound of the rotor is indeed eargasm. This screams MADNESS 🔥
Today in a Video from the SEMA a German Car guy namens JP ( from JP Performance in Germany /Dortmund he has a Golf2 calls Thunderbinny on the SEMA) shows us the McLaren from Mad Mike and i was so impressed that i have search the Channel and now i am here and i am much more impressed 👍 I have a lot of Videos to see thats for sure 😉 Thanks for all the cool and crasy stuff you show us and by the way, the Rotary sound is absolut amazing.

Fan from🇲🇾.. Thanks for sharing your crazy rotor build to the world.. Never drive or been a passenger in one of the rotor car.. But at least can enjoy every each one of your build..
That car sounds INSANE. The fact that you get to build and drive these crazy cars is such an amazing job to have. You’re a lucky man Mad Mike. Would be my dream to be able to drive a car that crazy some day. Makes me wanna build a rotary too.
As soon as i heard of this build with the 5 rotor i got excited to hear it because i also love that off beat sound of 3 and 5 cyl engines. And what winner this is! I truly never thought I'd hear a better sound than a PP 3 rotor engine and I'm happy to be wrong. Epicccc mate. Eargasmic!
Just saw this while I was at the supercar drive experience, and it is absolutely mad! The talent you have MM and your crew shows the kiwi indunuity at its best. Such a huge project, can't wait to see it in action, better yet a ride in the passenger seat!? Legend.
I'm from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and Mad Mike's name rings many bells there. In the world (we 🇵🇷) have some of the fastest 5 sec (Pistons or Rotary) car on the Quarter mile in the world... FACTS... And one of the only (Honda K series @Pimar ) in the 5 sec Quarter miles @263.76 We love your Rotary dominance Mad Mike... #1 🌍🌎🌏
I love that there's a window just for looking at the engine from inside the car, it'd be neat if you could see the exhaust glowing through it when it's at full chat but don't think that's possible from the driver's seat.
Mike.... I'm going to speak for probably 98% of us here. Keep up these long form videos.... we want these action packed episodes with some technical aspects too
What a heck that sound! It`s like a nostalgic child memory of golden era of F1 (I mean it always feels better then it was irl) Maaaaaaaaaaaaddd!!!!!!1111
Mad mike bringing all the brap brap brap to the world!!!! Best sounding cars ever, all of your cars are absolutely mental and sound like a dream to any car guy 💯🔥🤤
Mike's 5 rotor had been in the build for a good while before Mezzis build. I've heard that Mezzis has been fired up but yet to see any videos. Maybe he's having mechanical issues but it's been a few months since his last update. This was also his last build in partnership with PPRE before he's started building his own engines in the madlab
Fun fact: Because rotaries fire once every revolution like a 2-stroke, they'll sound similar to a 2-stroke with a similar piston count and presumably even firing interval. Don't believe me? Go listen to a 2 stroke triple back to back with an N/A 20B. Fun fact 2: Because it fires as often as a 2-stroke, it has technically 2x the volumetric efficiency as a normal 4-stroke piston engine. Double firing also means double the pulses, so the firing interval also mimics a 4-stroke piston engine with twice as many cylinders. Effectively, this means a 13b is a 2.6L 4-cyl, a 20b is a 4.0L 6-cyl, a 26b is a 5.2L 8-cyl, and THIS right here is equivalent to a 6.5L V10. So basically, Mad Mike (and the formula Mazzei guys, at that) have a 6.5L V10 that revs as high as Ryan Tuerck's Judd swapped Supra but theoretically makes more power due to more effective displacement. If Mike wants to chime in, I gotta ask... This makes about 800-900whp, right? By my math that's what it should be doing.
Your fun fact 2 is incorrect because that would mean a 2 stroke (which the rotary is too) would be also be double displacement (Which they aren't) now only if u were to compare the engines to a 4 stroke would that be somewhat correct but still be inaccurate of actual displacement.
@@nightkingzz784 I mean, it kinda is. 250 2 strokes kept up with or beat 450 4 strokes for the longest time until manufacturers started getting their BMEP up high enough to counter the increased VE of 2-cycle engines, which after their own efficiency losses come out to about 60% better total, nowadays. IE if you have a 4-stroke that can do 85lb-ft per liter, a 2-stroke of equal displacement should do 136. 2s didn't get worse, though, it's just that 4s got much better, particularly at the "as-manufactured" level since, technically speaking (at least in the domestic V8 world) racers have been getting 80+lb-ft per liter since the 60s all on their own, and on 2-valve engines while simultaneously pushing the limits of reliable piston speeds, at that.
I simply cannot believe how good we have it nowadays. This is a level of technology and skill is just unheard of. 5 Rotors is mad, but to have a custom built rocket from the ground up, is Pure Madness. And for it to be shared in such a beautiful way. So thankful to see this. Thank you Mike and everyone who made this beast come alive.
Hell yea bloody weapon, sounds frickin nuts even on a computer. I still dream of finishing my four rotor 911 drift build, it will happen eventually. Also, how nuts is the Perspex window in the fire wall that's pretty sick. killing it bro as always. Definitely entertaining smashed that box. love it
Like a cross between one of those Asian Murder Hornets a dentist's drill and and a Star Wars™ Incom T-65 X-Wing Fighter. Heat seeking tire slayer. Can't wait to see more of this Mike keep up the craziness we are here for it.
I literally love this build 😍 I was lucky enough to work with Mike in the UK at SRD Tuning and he is a dude I helped out on the lambo but this thing is another level altogether
We got a humble kiwi over here pulling up with a multi-million dollar one-off project on an open trailer😅😅😅 take note Americans a car trailer doesn't have to be a double wide
Your comment doesn't make much sense when he says in the video the only reason it's on a flat bed is because it's too wide to fit into his car trailer.
I remember as a kid, i thought how cool it would be if someone drifted a F1 V10 car. Looks like my prayers have been answered!
Yeah it def sounds really similar to F1 V10 although the whine of the straight cut gears of the gear box does detract from the sound a bit. Just needs to rev a further 6000 - 8000 rpm above what it is currently doing. 2004 - 2005 F1 revved to between 18,000 and 20,000 rpm. Fricken sick car though .

@@432htz3should look up the fornula supra, it has a judd v10 and is both a drift and time attack car
Check out Ryan tuerck judd v10 supra. Need to get these cars together!
@@432htz3 it does the combustion like a v10, five times per rev. thats why it sounds similar i think.
@@tozkal96its basically equivalent to a 2 stroke because rotaries fire every 360°
Hats off for taking so many pure sounding shots with no music over. Also you just put my dream car above any other that has ever been made.

Serious F1 V10 vibes!! Soooo good!! Congrats guys, beautiful work!!
At full chat, the sounds reminds me of early 2000s Formula 1 with those V10 engines.
Immediately where I went too, this thing sounds absolutely glorious
in lower RPM it still has that lovely note of a five pot.
The best sounds of Formula 1 was the V10 era. Good job Mike.

I literally love this build 😍 I was lucky enough to work with Mike in the UK at SRD Tuning and he is a dude I helped out on the lambo but this thing is another level altogether
We got a humble kiwi over here pulling up with a multi-million dollar one-off project on an open trailer😅😅😅 take note Americans a car trailer doesn't have to be a double wide
We don't need a separate flatbed truck to unload lmao
@@wesley8599 Nah, you would find a reason to get a toter like youre a top fueler whilst living in Gainsville Florida 🤣
Your comment doesn't make much sense when he says in the video the only reason it's on a flat bed is because it's too wide to fit into his car trailer.
Jealous people are hilarious lol
Sounds like you’re mad you’re not in America brother 😂 get fucked WE LOVE DOUBLE WIDES !!!
This might be my new favorite sounding car, especially sitting there at a little after his first test
