RE Amemiya Car Co Ltd (有限会社RE雨宮自動車, Yūgen Kaisha Āru-ī Amemiya Jidōsha^?) is an automotive tuning company from Chiba, Chiba Prefecture, Japan founded by Isami Amemiya. Amemiya has made a name for himself tuning rotary engines since 1974 and has become a pioneer in tuning rotary-powered Mazdas. Thirty years later, first on the street and later in the Super GT series, Amemiya has made his mark on the tuning and motorsports worlds for rotaries.

Super GT RE Amemiya RX-7

Other than competing in tuner events, since 1995, his company RE Amemiya (RE for Rotary Engine) has continued its participation as the lone rotary entry in the Super GT series with a 3-rotor 20B-powered Mazda RX-7 in the GT300 class,^[1] in 2006, all that effort was rewarded when the team scored a title. The company also competes in the D1 Grand Prix drifting series, and they have done so since 2004. For their second year of competition (2005), their driver Masao Suenaga, scored a sole victory at Fuji Speedway, but finished as runner up overall in the Grand Prix, losing by just one point to Yasuyuki Kazama.^{[citation needed]}
