【FD3S RX-7】深夜の榛名山が走り屋だらけ！イニシャルDの聖地が危険すぎた〜ロータリーエンジンサウンド

I’m Ko Honekawa, a film director living in Japan. I’ve been driving an FD RX-7 for 26 years now. I went for a midnight drive on Mount Haruna. This place is famous as the setting for the manga “Initial D.” It had been about 20 years since my last midnight visit, and I was surprised to find the place teeming with street racers. The car is an FD3S RX-7 (6th generation TYPE-RB), almost stock, and I recorded the exhaust sound from the original muffler—which is over 25 years old - using a microphone attached to the bumper. The footage and information in this video are current as of May 2026.

Therefore, it differs from the exhaust sound heard from the driver’s seat or outside the car. Thank you for watching! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
