Super GT RE Amemiya RX-7
In addition to competing in tuner events, in 1995 his company RE Amemiya (RE for Rotary Engine) began its participation as the lone rotary entry in the Super GT series with a 3-rotor 20B-powered Mazda RX-7 in the GT300 class.[1] This car was featured in Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo 4, Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo 6.
In 2006 the team was rewarded when they captured the class championship. The company also have competed in the D1 Grand Prix drifting series since 2004. For their second year of competition (2005), their driver Masao Suenaga, scored a sole victory at Fuji Speedway, but finished as runner up overall in the Grand Prix, losing by just one point to Yasuyuki Kazama.[citation needed]
RE Amemiya's cars are often featured on the Japanese show Hot Version. Hot Version often shows Keiichi Tsuchiya and other professional drivers competing in Touge events; these events are run in a cat and mouse fashion, much like the form of racing seen in the Initial D franchise. RE Amemiya's RX-7 often battles with the AmuseS2000, the J's Racing S2000 and the MCR R34 GT-R. RE Amemiya's RX-7 held the title of Touge Monster from 2004 to 2007, when it went against J's Racing at the Touge GP 2007 event with a new blue FD3S RX-7 which had revised side-ports and a single aftermarket turbine setup; this car lost its title as the battle conditions were in the rain. The new machine was built after almost losing to Amuse's S2300 GT-1 with their boost-up turbine blue FD3S during Touge GP 2006. The company reclaimed its Touge title after winning against J's Racing's Honda S2000 in 2009 with their green FD3S. Thus far, RE Amemiya has won the Touge Monster title three times, each with a different car.
Here is a recent photo from the Tokyo Auto Salon 2015 where they are showing off another Rotary Swapped Miata. Some wild body upgrades to the front as well!
This Miata looks like an RX7, NC, Porsche, etc from this angle?
