The Mazda 767 and its 1989 upgrade the 767B are prototype racing cars that Mazdaspeed built for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the IMSA-specification GTP class. The 767 replaced the 757 in 1988, moving to a newer and larger four-rotor 13J Wankel engine that produced nearly 600 horsepower. Two 767s finished 17th and 19th overall at Le Mans in 1988, behind a lone 757. For 1989 Mazda upgraded the car to the 767B, tested it at the 24 Hours of Daytona where it finished fifth overall, and then took two 767Bs and an older 767 to Le Mans, where they finished seventh, ninth and 12th. In 1990 a single 767B was entered alongside two new 787s and was the only one of the three to finish, in 20th place overall.
