A German invented it so Give him his respect ,,,it just so happend that the japanese made it a bit more practical , fuel efficient and not to mention LIGHTWEIGHT

Honestly IF THE U S would've made the ROTARY Engine It would've been a Peice of shit and it wouldve drank more gas and burned more oil than it already does

no offence ...

The rotary engine is not the best of engines but for its size its performance is OUTSTANDING especially when its turbocharged and maintained properly,,,

Mazda Rotary Forever!

@JuanPapaNicolao Starting in the mid '60's, GM was heavily involved in rotary development, and that's just what they ran into, they couldn't get it right, and then the fuel and smog issues killed it completely. The Vette was to be a mid engine 4 rotor, it would have been a ferrari killer, but we had to wait a couple decades for that to happen! NSU and Citroen both built rotarys, and had the same problems, NSU being ruined and sold in the end. Mazda had trouble as well.

@JuanPapaNicolao their are allot of other possibilities for the engine style aswell not just using combustible's.. the rotor format was banned from Le mans because it was far too effective.

@JuanPapaNicolao The rotary engine missed out on WW2, therefore the technology to make it even better was not developed in time. Piston engines were developed while the rotary engine was left in the dust. I'm sure if the NSU started developing rotary engines a little bit earlier, they'd be mass produced equally to or more than the standard piston engines we have today.

Sorry if i "misstranslated" something, but about 99% im sure thats what he said

[skodia]

he called it a rotor, cuz his full name was Akinawa Rotory Hirashima...doesnt make any sense but thats what he said...I know it all sounds dumb, but Japanese are like that, they dont make any sense but when they make something, everyone in the world is jealous about it.

@ten8goa I can translate a little, the old guy wit glasses runs this rotory company, the way he started doing this is when he was little he was in love with triangles, so he thought about a triangle car wit three wheels, the he saw a guy raping his mom in circle style, but that was his dad, and then it hit him, what hit him was a 4cyl honda engine, then he said to him self imma make my self a better engine that would be smaller and run on triangles, so he combined circle with triangle and
