If you have to ask, you cant afford it etc, etc but.....how much for a car that sounds like a chainsw ripping the air in two

Sounds like a bike on chat. Idle sounds a bit like a large bore V8

Mazda 787B. I've never wanted to hear any car in person, more than that one.

I am sure they are quite fragile but what a noise!

More here from a chap in NZ. I think this isn't going to be such a bad day at the office

You have to love the thinking behind some of the aero engines! Looked like the guy behind the stand was really trying to remain composed when it fired the first time

I need one of them in my life!

Although by the sounds of it they are quite highly strung and will require alot of maintenance

4-rotor n/a = amasing
4-rotor pp n/a = awesome
4-rotor, extended bridge + big turbo = beyond awesome
