This Mazda RX-7 Was So Loud It Got Banned From The Nurburgring

The engine, which had been rebuilt and modified to mimic the sound of a space rocket during takeoff, proved to be excessively loud for the Nurburgring. Any vehicle generating over 130 decibels is prohibited from participating on the racetrack. Consequently, this Mazda was promptly disqualified after completing only two laps due to its excessive noise levels when driven at maximum speed.

The acceleration of this RX-7 is just wild. The turbo kicks in around 4,500 rpm, propelling the tachometer and speedometer with astonishing speed. The tuned RX-7's top speed exceeds the capabilities of its original speed gauge, reaching the 111 mph mark, causing the needle to venture beyond its limits. No wonder there's been aclamor for a new modelfrom Mazda for years.

Throughout the video, we can see the close-to-stock RX-7 tackle multiple cars on the road - some were faster, which prompted the driver to stick to the right side to allow passing. After all, safety should still be on top of everyone's minds, with the Nurburgringimplementing more safety precautions.

Misha Charoudin felt the strain on the brakes and the bushings on the control arm, making a second lap unwise. They plan to return with an upgraded and quieter exhaust system. While it may be too loud, at least it isn'ttoo slowfor the 'Ring.
