This is like beyond legend. Mythical, or godly.
>>17253479
Any kind of sport version car based on a civilian vehicle is a legendary/hero car in my opinion

So did Lotus really design this or is it all baseless rumour?

Wankel engines were outlawed shortly after that race. Not to say anyting in defense of that engine in any production car, but with a proper build and a team behind, it's a serious contender.

>t's a serious contender
Do people forget the 400 lb weight advantage they convinced officials to let them have or...?
>>17254468
Yup. Is there even something close to Group B today in terms of car specs?
Imagine going "free for all" engineering wise, on a closed course. Let the best machine, with the best driver win the race. Wankel, suction cup soap boxes, turbine cars, whatever, as long as it makes contact with the track.
I would watch the shit out of this.
>>17254483
It's not like the engine was gifted to them. They had the balls to invest in something nobody else would touch, and it was probably allowed because nobody had any idea of the result.
>>17253653
I like the flares and the stickers. its pretty much how i'd have one.
>>17254512
No, i mean the weight savings they were given on top of the engine. the class required all group C cars to weigh 2,200 lbs or more even if they naturally weighed under that but they were the only ones allowed to go below that. so it was like other group C cars like the Sauber C9 were running around with led ankle bracelets.
>>17254512
Modern WRCs are probably equal if not even faster then B, but not in a relative sense of how the Group were Gravel Supercars.
>>17254133
This
>>17254438
Why?
>>17254133
>>17254648
Agreed
>>17254512
I like this idea. Completely open rulebook, save for some obvious safety equipment. It would be like Wacky Races in real life
>>17253562
yup

I came here to post this.

36 Is my Autocross #. I wanted to use a historic Toyota #. I drive a Toyota MR2 :)
>>17254356
An ex lotus engineer helped design it and Lotus had a similar project that they cancelled.
>>17253479
Unpopular opinion: The AW11 isn't really legendary, it's just loved on /o/ because it's the cheaper alternative to the AE86 which every weeb on this board loves.
>>17254438
>>17254654
Disregarding the fact that the one in the photo is an MXR-01 and not the winning 787B, the car wasn't banned, rather the engine was. The 787B used a rotary engine which after it won in 1991 the FIA reorganized the requirements of the event to require V10 engines for all racers. The ban has since been lifted.
https://youtu.be/az39eqLIbyU
Pic related is a 787B, note the lack of scoop ontop of the car as well as the difference in the spoiler and minute differences of the body work around the headlights.
>>17255984
>The ban has since been lifted.
LMP1 and LMP2 must use reciprocating piston engines

"Mazda, you just became the only Japanese manufacturer to win the world's most prestigious road race. Where do you see yourself in 30 years?"
"Well, I think we're going to phase out most motorsports, focus on small SUVs and make sure none of our cars have over 250hp. The rotary? I figure we'll make a terrible version of it and then kill it off entirely."
Where did it all go do wrong
>>17258095
It's not just Mazda, shits awful everywhere.

you make me angry but the only refute I have is that it was a fairly cheap MR that didn't ignite itself or wasn't italian
something that hasn't been done since
Fastest production 4 door car ever made at the time. It was so fast it outraged the Daily Mail who ran a piece on it because it was faster than any police car in the country at the time.
>>17258130
reminds me of this
another fastest 4 door

That's not a 787b btw.

I don't think the RX8 is terrible tbqh. But that's just me.

anon you keep posting this on almost every board, and you make me slowly want one. I do not know whether to love you or to hate you, but now i keep searching for one on sales.
>>17255961
Nah, the aw11 is the poor man's Ferrari and in the eyes of normies (and car folk) alike it is a very cool car which I'd argue makes it legendary

It's a monster of a car, the main problem with it was the fuel consumption. I miss this era of Le Man, the hybrids are great but they don't have that special something cars like this had.
>>17258095
They're one of the smaller marques and have got to keep turning a profit to stay alive. The rotary isn't a big moneymaker, unfortunately small SUVs are. Same reason there isn't a 3rd gen Mazdaspeed3.
>>17255892

All three of these.

Damn thought it looked familiar. I've only seen it in racing liveries.
AW11 would've cemented legendary status had Toyota got this thing onto a podium.

And the road version of course.
Nearly all of the Bond cars are pretty legendary too.
>>17261334
they probably would have cheated like they did with the celica.

Wasn't this car supposed to race and win GT1 races but it ended up not winning a single race? supposedly decent enough qualifying times but 23 hour le mans toyota prototype reliability or something.

Yeah the tranny was shithouse IIRC.

it means either your set up is way too conservative and you are wasting a fuck ton of potential

The decision to run 3.5 liter piston engines (same as F1 at the time) starting with 1992 was made before the running of the 1991 24h race.

Always wanted one of those but I can't even imagine how much it would cost to ship one of those to Europe.

KITT is cool and all but i gotta pick the General
>>17267117
My dream is having a garage with picture perfect General, Bandit, and KITT
>>17267140
that would be sweet
have to admit the General and Bandit would get most of my love
the 82 firebird is kinda meh to me unless i was going to have some super build engine under the hood which would make it not KITT
