Mazda, which won the 1991 edition of the Le Mans 24h Race with the first and only rotary engined race car, is all set to return to this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours Race with its revolutionary rotary engined RX-8 Hydrogen RE sports coupe.
This year, the ‘Le Mans vers le Future’ (Le Mans into the Future) event would be the first for the Le Mans Race. The event would showcase ‘Green cars’ with alternative powertrains.
The company would be introducing the RX-8 Hydrogen RE sports coupe as a demonstration vehicle for this event. The RX-8 Hydrogen RE is powered by a dual-fuel rotary engine which is capable of running on both hydrogen and petrol efficiently.
Veteran driver, Yojiro Terada, who was a member of the Mazda team that took the podium in 1991 would be driving the RX-8 Hydrogen RE for the demonstration, scheduled for June 12, 2010. The veteran driver has 29 Le Mans 24h endurance race participations to his credit, of which 16 appearances are with Mazda.
The Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE is an excellent green and mean machine and is available for lease in countries like Norway and Japan.
