Bullfight

Avid readers will know that I've got a bit of a soft spot for the krazy kiwi Mad Mike Whiddett. This guy has been reppin' rotary for ages, and is one of the best showmen in the drift scene.

Here are his two Red Bull-sponsored creations:



The RX8 runs a 666hp turbo'd 20b lump, that's a triple rotor engine to the uninitiated. Pretty special.

Oh and the RX7? A 513hp naturally aspirated 26b. That's 4 rotors. That's crazy. It's the responsiveness of the thing I can't get over, that and the fact that it sounds like an angry banshee with a tyre addiction.





And a bit of a peek around his amazing workshop:


Good lad.

  1. Is it me or do the slip angles in the first video look kinda weak compared to some of the pros? Not a lot of lock on that RX8
