TWR Rx-7 - who knows anything about it?
The other day I came across these two pictures of the TWR Rx-7 Racecar.
The tail looks funky, as the thread title say: Who knows about this thing?

The first car is Rx7-253, designed by Takuya Yura. It was from 1980 or 1981. Had a 13b engine, 48IDA Weber carbs. I have an article about it in a Japanese design magazine from the 80's, but I can't read it worth my ***.

Car number 37, which was predominantly red and white, was piloted by Tetsu Ikusawa, Tom Walkinshaw (of TWR fame) and Peter Lovette, while number 38 (finished in black and gold) was handled by Win Percy, Hiroshi Fushida and Yojiro Terada. Sadly, both 290bhp vehicles went out with transmission maladies, the Percy machine in the third hour, and the Ikusawa car in the 11th.
