Mad Mike’s FURSTY by TCP Magic, 2024. Presented at the Tokyo Auto Salon. Kiwi drifter Mike Whiddett began his career with this Mazda Savanna Wagon but sold it to fund his FD RX-7 drift car. Fast forward to October last year when Mike was able to buy the Mazda Wagon back and pass it onto TCP Magic. They have fitted a 26B 4-rotor NA engine with HGT sequential transmission and Winters Performance quick-change differential, there's also a Rocket Bunny Pandem wide-body kit and custom Rotiform wheels.

Mad Mike & Lanzante unveil Drift Hypercar at Goodwood FoS
Marking a decade since bringing the discipline of drifting to Goodwood, ‘Mad Mike’ Whiddett is raising the bar once again in 2024, and doing it in his signature style. In collaboration with British automotive engineering specialists, Lanzante, ‘MadMac’ is his wildest project to-date. A rotary-swapped, 1,000-horsepower, flame-spitting McLaren drift hypercar.

It was called 787D “Mad” Mike Whiddett, a professional drifter with a passion for rotary engines, not only tunes factory Mazda models, but also builds his own cars. This time he created the world's first five-rotor power plant and a unique machine called the 787D. [caption id="attachment_85575" align="aligncenter" width="780"] first five-rotor car[/caption] The world's first five-rotor car was presented The Wankel engine has a roughly triangular shaped rotor rotating around an eccentric shaft, and each of the three sides undergoes intake, compression, ignition and exhaust phases as it rotates. Most Mazda road models used two-rotor engines, but the Le Mans-winning Mazda 787B was equipped with a four-rotor engine. "Mad" Mike went even further with his five-rotor engine. According to Carvibz, the engine capacity is 3.3 liters. There are no details about power output. The video confirms that the power plant was very loud. [caption id="attachment_85576" align="aligncenter" width="780"] first five-rotor car[/caption] The Japanese tuner Rocket Bunny is responsible for the body; the car is based on the fourth generation Mazda RX-7 (FD). However, the tubular chassis and radically modified engine suggest that little remains of the original sports car. https://youtu.be/XmqB2wPqLUc Whiddett debuted the 787D at Mad Mike's Summer Bash 6 on December 2 in New Zealand. He plans to use it for drifting, but so far there are no videos on the Internet showing how this car slides.

Well this isn’t stock 😱 ______________________________________ [7/7/19] FOSGoodWood is one crazy festival with hypercars, hot hatches and even F1 cars running up the hill. But there also is this insane Huracán from Mike Whiddett (aka mad Mike) dubbed the NIMBUL and it is anything but stock! (Or tame) Being a Formula Drift icon, this LP580-2 Huracan had to match that sideways lifestyle so that V10 got some boost! 🔥@Allcarnews Spec Sheet: The 5.2L V10 powering the Huracan now Is making 800HP all to the rear wheels thanks to an ecu tune, high flow filters and well.. Nitrous. 🔥 But of course that isn’t all as a Liberty Walk wide body kit helps to fit the wider rubber wrapped around Rotiform wheels. The NIMBUL also got a AirREX air suspension and that slick RedBull wrap/livery outside! ________________________________________ ACN EXTRA: Someone needs to V10 swap the Urus asap if it’s even possible. ________________________________________ - - #huracan #FOSGOODWOOD #V10 #Lamborghini #italian #italy #HuracanEVO #LP580 #Audi #drift #carbon ||#powerful #performance #turbocharged #supercharged #advanced #SupercarsRevamped #Supercar #HyperCar #ItsWhiteNoise #CarLifeStyle #MadWhips #CupGang #Carstagram #BlackList https://www.instagram.com/p/BzoCkuHhEZ8/?igshid=11s0sc2e8m4kg

This, is MADCAB. MADCAB is another mental creation from Kiwi drifter Mad Mike Whiddett as his take on a Drift Taxi. MADCAB utilises a Mazda Luce chassis, custom bodywork, a 13B from an RX-7 and a plethora of other JDM goodies.
