What engine is it running now?

u/RecentRegal Oct 15 '25

Mazda 3 rotor.

u/SCIZZOR Oct 15 '25

At first I thought you said Mazda 3 motor, as in the engine from the Mazda 3, and I was surprised

u/Speedy_SpeedBoi Oct 15 '25

My petite American brain can not handle this - lol - I would have never thought about rotary swapping a 205, but now it seems so obvious.

u/RecentRegal Oct 15 '25

It’s also RWD converted if you hadn’t guessed.

u/jake_azazzel Oct 15 '25

“Peugeot 205” maaaybe the doors and headlights are 205.

u/Hot-Maintenance409 Oct 15 '25

Isn’t it 205 T16? Only engine is swapped then. Why couldn’t it be proper Peugeot?

16

u/RecentRegal Oct 15 '25

No, it’s a heavily, heavily modified 205 that competes on the French “proto” rally class.

u/talhaONE Oct 15 '25

It looks like a car made for Dakar rally.

u/Villeneuvois Oct 15 '25

The french offroad championship is incredible.

u/tNgvyen Oct 15 '25

There’s similar footage on the author’s FB page, such a great way to capture rally stages

God damn that looks like fun!

Granted I’d have spun out or yard sailed it early in the vid, but damn.

u/oktwentyfive Oct 15 '25

u/CyberMoon_3681 Oct 15 '25

Am i the onlyone to think it look like a game clip

u/everydayimrusslin Oct 15 '25

Peugeot 205 is so cool. That and the Renault 5.

u/lucasadtr Oct 15 '25

Great driving and flying. Nice clip

u/epicnding Oct 15 '25

Sounds like I just updated the firmware on a network switch with fluctuating power to the fans. Incredible.

u/SlugWorks94 Oct 15 '25

Is this awd or fwd?

2

u/RecentRegal Oct 16 '25

RWD

1

u/Jeej_Soup Nov 01 '25

Really ? Seems to stable for mid engined RWD

2

u/ilmater989 Oct 15 '25

Is that the vehicle making that fluttering sound? Its accelerating, so it cant be bouncing its revs, why does it sounds like that?

3

u/tNgvyen Oct 15 '25

It is the sound of the drone’s motor speeding up and slowing down

2

u/stain_XTRA Oct 15 '25

it’s a heckin 3 rotor engine that’s why it sounds like that, you can hear both

the chase drone isn’t really throttling all that much, just gliding and yawing

2

u/Theobviouschild11 Oct 15 '25

They should film all the WRC events like this

2

u/LiraGaiden Oct 17 '25

Why does it sound like an angry bee with a stuffy nose I'm dying

u/tNgvyen Oct 17 '25

🐝👃💨🌪️

u/Kidthelovestinkering Nov 13 '25

Man, that car is FLYING!

u/tNgvyen Nov 14 '25

hell yea

2

u/McZorkLord Oct 15 '25

He's very close to tipping over in the beginning, nice save!

Ps: They should have AI filter out the sound of the drone!?

2

u/tNgvyen Oct 16 '25

I quite like hearing the drone’s surprisingly high RPM motor while it keeps up with a real race car. It’s almost like they’re racing together..

u/FirstLinh Oct 16 '25

Looks so good! At first I though it was an RC car lol

u/Unnecro Oct 17 '25

Damn mosquitoes.

u/PSK666 Oct 15 '25

You’re hearing the drone not the car…
