I drove an RX7 years ago.
The rotary engine is amazing.
Its like you're attached to an elastic band thats somewhere over the horizon.
How many 1300cc cars crank out 250bhp without a turbo bolted to them?
-------------------------------------
This four-passenger sports car is powered by the new RENESIS rotary engine. Unlike previous rotary engines, which had side intake ports and peripheral exhaust ports, the RENESIS has intake and exhaust ports in the side housing. This setup eliminates overlap between the opening of the intake and exhaust ports, enhancing combustion efficiency. The intake ports are 30 percent larger, and their timing has been changed so they open sooner than in the older rotary engines. The RENESIS engine produces 250 horsepower.
Renesis R2
Engine location Front, longitudinally mounted
Displacement 1.308 liter / 79.8 cu in
Valvetrain N/A
Fuel feed Electronic Fuel injection
Aspiration Naturally Aspirated
Gearbox 6 Speed Manual
Drive Rear wheel drive
Power 247 bhp / 184.3 kW @ 8500 rpm
BHP/Liter 188.8
Torque 216 Nm / 159.3 ft lbs @ 5500 rpm
-------------------------------------------
The only downer is finding a mechanic that knows diddly about wankel units.
An engine doesn't get any simpler though.
BTW its 2x650cc units, so theres scope for at least one more for the speed freaks, or one unit would be great for around town in a small car.
