Just listen to it.

It had a sound of a F1. Or is it just me?

It sounds like the Mazda 787b LM-car, which was also a 4-rotor engine I believe.

Not many could have been made so he must have paid a fortune for it.

It could just be a custom build motor, rather than one built by Mazda... but expensive either way.

Yes 787B is also a 4 Rotor (26B) but this is not a factory Mazda 26B its custom made. A few people have done it and its not as hard as most people think its essentially two 13b rotary engines mated together. As you know Rotary housings split apart so they add more housings (4 for the 4 Rotor) and make a new custom eccentric shaft to join the drive together. I have read that it is a bit more fiddly in practice than it seems in theory.

I've seen (and taken footage) of that car myself here in NZ.

From memory it's making 570hp and ran a 10.7 I think. That was about a year ago. Now I believe he's got a little bit more power out of it and ran a PB of 10.5 @ 132mph.
