"But what really sets this Scoot RX-7 apart form anything else on the road is it's custom built 4-rotor NA engine. Pushing out 400PS at 8,000rpm this little rotary can easily rev to 10,000rpm and has the most incredibly sharp throttle response, ever! It breathes through 4 separate throttle bodies and a custom carbon air box while a special exhaust system has been developed to quieten it down to acceptable levels. Out on the road this car sounds more like a high revving sports bike than a car and certainly gets a few looks."

Is that a sports bike or F1 car?

I don't mind the body. It's pretty damn unique. As for the engine, man does that sound like the real deal. It sounds terribly uneven and unrefined until you rev it, and then it goes from demolition derby to F1 pole position. Hearing that sound and imagining the absolute violence occuring in the 4 rotor chambers is pretty amazing.
