 The
WR's ability to bring in an ample amount of cooling air for the rotary
Mazda was probably the number one factor in Autoexe's decision to use the

to a much higher percentage to cool the engine than on a comparable power

primary reason for the 148 kilo weight difference comes down to a heavier
engine, larger radiators and oil coolers, heavier bodywork and exhaust
as well as a longer wheelbase for the Mazda car. |
