The Mazda 787B was built around the R26B, a naturally aspirated four-rotor engine of 2,616cc producing around 700hp, and it was allowed to race at a lower minimum weight than the piston-engined Group C cars. At the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans, held on 22 and 23 June, the No.55 car of Volker Weidler, Johnny Herbert and Bertrand Gachot qualified 18th and then ran a trouble-free race with only routine stops for fuel, tyres, drivers and brake pads. The Sauber-Mercedes C11s set the pace until, around midday on Sunday, the leading No.1 car pitted with a sheared alternator bracket and terminal overheating. The Mazda completed 362 laps to win by two laps from the Jaguar XJR-12, the first Le Mans victory for a Japanese manufacturer and the only one for a rotary engine. Herbert drove the final stint and was too dehydrated to attend the podium.
Werk83 reproduces the winning No.55 Mazda 787B at 1:18 scale in its green and orange livery with Weidler, Herbert and Gachot as the crew. The diecast model has opening doors to show the cockpit, working wheels and photo-etched detail parts, and is supplied in a clamshell collector’s box.

Understanding Scale
The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.
