The legendary machine that brought Mazda the first victory ever in the Le Mans for a Japanese manufacturer.

Produced in 1991 as a variant of the original 787, the 787B is powered by a 4-rotor Wankel rotary engine, producing 690 BHP. It weighs 1,830 lbs., and was specifically made for the Le Mans 24 Hour Endurance race. After its victory in 1991, the 787B was retired following FIA's outlawing of rotary engines, while its other 2 derivatives continued to be used for racing purposes.

This car was driven by German Volker Weidler, Englishman Johnny Herbert, and Belgian Bertrand Gachot, who has finished the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1st place overall.

Note that the figure doesn't have all the sponsors and stickers on the livery and also it doesn't support it properly if you flip the figure on it's other side.
