800BHP Triple Rotor Tubro RX7

I've just seen an ad by JapVillage in the U.K.

They have or are importing a triple rotor big single turbo RX7. Its 'Candy Apple Pink' and going for £25,000.

Is this possible and how streetable would this monster be?

Candy Apple Pink huh? Only ever heard of candy apple red but I guess the color is not the subject.

IMO it's entirely possible it could have 800bhp from a 3 rotor with a big single turbo. Sorry can't answer how "streetable" it would really be. Alot depends on the stats of the motor/turbo and what you consider "streetable"

excuse the ignorance, but that looks like a regular 2-rotor to me...how can you tell it's a 3 rotor from the pic?

The one in the pic is a 450 odd hp 13BT, It's a show only Aussie RX7.

When you see the whole car, it's actually quite nice... Even the pink paint.

That's not supposed to be a pic of the 3 rotor, I think it's just an example of a very pink car.

You're right its a regular 13B-REW..(2 rotor)


Edit*nevermind it might be a 13BT with a FD intake manifold?

No, you're right, my bad. It's a single turbo 13B-REW.

Wouldn't the heat from the turbo melt off the paint? Can we say trailer pony?
