Here it is. A machine that proved many things to the automotive world. The legendary machine that gave Mazda the title as the first ever Japanese manufacturer to win the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans. 7-8-7-B. Mated with Mazda’s R26B, a 4-rotor Rotary/Wankel engine, this absolute beast of a car managed to produce and upwards of 930hp. To handle this power the 787B’s chassis was made out of carbon composite, which not only ensured the rigidness of the machine, but also reduced the overall weight of the 787B to just over 830kg. With all that working in harmony, the 787B could attain a top speed of 353km/h. Then came 1991 Le Mans, a time where things were getting much more competitive with European manufacturers such as Peugeot, Jaguar, Mercedes and Porsche all giving their best shot to take the win. 362 laps later and the 787B takes the checkered flag without a single incident, proving to the world the true power and capability of the rotary engine as well as the capability of Japanese manufacturers to compete against European manufacturers.
• About project (100th submission special)
Knowing that my next project would be my 100th submission here on MCPEDL (aka this project), I thought I’d do something special. The 787B! As stated above, this machine was in a league if its own. (First and only car mated with a rotary engine to win Le Mans, held the title of the only Japanese car to win Le Mans until 2018, an icon and staple in automotive history.) I’d like to thank everyone for supporting me throughout my time here on MCPEDL ever since I started posting here back in May 2020, I’ve definitely gained alot of experience and knowledge from this 1 year and 5 month experience that I’d never had thought I’d gain if I never made addons, specifically automotive related addons. This is also my first model to be modelled using a blueprint, which definitely helped in making the model look more accurate to the irl version. I’d like to thank and credit Discord user Matt.#6138 for his time and effort in modelling and supplying me the 4-rotor rotary engine used in this model. The engine model supplied by him is without a doubt highly detailed and very accurate to the real model, which is something that definitely isn’t something easy to do and therefore Matt definitely deserves credit for that. Yet again, thanks Matt! Hope ya’ll enjoy this very special project!
• Car History
"The Mazda 787 and its derivative 787B are Group C sports prototype racing cars that were developed by Japanese automobile manufacturer Mazda for use in the World Sportscar Championship, All Japan Sports Prototype Championship, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1990 to 1991.

• How to open the doors & How to take off the engine cover
i) Doors To OPEN the doors, right click the car and the doors will open. Right click again to get in. To CLOSE the doors, right click WHILE shifting/crouching. ii) Engine cover To TAKE OFF the engine cover, right click WHILE shifting/crouching WHEN the doors are closed and the engine cover will be taken off! To PLACE BACK the engine cover, right click WHILE shifting/crouching. In a nutshell, the concept is basically; Right click/hold + Shift/crouch = Close/open the engine cover and close doors Right click ONLY = Open doors and to get in car ... (once the car's doors are open)
I've made a video showing how it's done so if you don't understand words, you can check that video out. The car in the video used is my previous Datsun 240z addon which shouldn't be a problem as the concept (animations, door and hood mechanics and sound effects) are the same for this addon (787B).
• Regarding Mobile Revised
Starting with my ‘77 Pontiac Firebird addon, Mobile Revised versions will not have the ability to open the hood (in this case the engine cover). Door Mechanism 2.0 will still be implemented for Mobile Revised versions meaning you can still open and close the doors. This is to help optimize gameplay for Mobile users. TL;DR: Mobile Revised versions do not have the ability to open/close the hood/engine cover, but you can still open/close the doors.
• Advanced sounds
In total there are 5 sound effects for the cars. The list are as follows: Startup sound effect - When the player sits in the car Driving sound effect - When the player drives the car Custom car damage sound - When the car is damaged / takes a hit Door closing sound effect - When the player closes the door Door opening sound effect - When the player opens the door
This addon DOES NOT REQUIRE (any type of..) EXPERIMENTAL MODE.
• How to obtain
Method 1: Get their spawn eggs from the Creative Inventory. They are classified as spawn eggs. You can search "787B" or "Mazda" without the " for a more convenient way of getting them.”
So basically, Win10 = High speed version, suitable for race track maps. (Minecraft speed of 0.7) Mobile = Lowered speed version, suitable for small city maps. (Minecraft speed of 0.6 Mobile Revised = Lowest speed version. Does not have the ability to open the hood. Recommended for mobile users [lag reduction, easier to control](Minecraft speed of 0.44)
