The Mazda 787B made history in 1991 by becoming the first, and still only, Japanese car to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Its victory marked the sole overall Le Mans triumph by a rotary-powered machine. Equally legendary was its sound, produced by the four-rotor R26B engine revving beyond 9,000 rpm. The high-pitched, almost otherworldly shriek became an enduring symbol of rotary engineering, speed, and Mazda’s defiant approach to endurance racing. | Historyinmemes
