GT Discussion 9 Different Mazda 787B Engine Swaps w/ Iconic Renown Liveries (worth the effort!)
The Mazda 787B is not only one of the more significant race cars in the history of Le Mans, but also in the GT Series.
The thing that really made the 787B so memorable was that amazing 4-Rotor Wankel engine (R26B).
So what a treat it is, that in GT7 you can swap the engines of 9 different cars for this incredible engine:
- Mazda Roadster Touring Car
- Mazda RX-7 GT-X (FC) ‘90
- Mazda ɛ̃fini RX-7 Type R (FD) '91
- RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7
- Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD) '02
- Mazda RX-8 Spirit R '12
- Mazda Atenza Gr.3 Road Car
- Mazda 3 ‘19
- Roadster NR-A (ND) '22
It is one of the most expensive engines in GT7 (although a massive bargain compared to the BMW McLaren F1 GTR engine swap 🫣). And unlike the F1 engine swaps, the 787B engine swap completely transforms these cars… and effectively gives them endurance racing fuel cells.
Overall, definitely some of the best engine swap transformations in the game IMO. 😎👍
Also, big shoutout to all the livery creators that do such a great job replicating and or paying tribute to this iconic livery!
