Malcome Bricklin did a car that looks like that ( I said "look" , not same technology ) from 1974 until early 1976 in St-John , New Brunswick, Canada. Later, Delorean tried also built a similar shape car ( 1981-82 ). The Bricklin factory was not able to produce vehicles fast enough to make a profit. As a result, only 2854 cars were built before the company went into receivership, owing the New Brunswick government $23 million.
@macitoneto : They never produced it ; these car were used first to test the Wankel Engine and then, the Diesel Engine for speed and endurance. :o) ( After a lot of testing, they drop the idea of putting Wankel in Mercedes )
@jaimecidcampeador wow...nitrogen production vehicles...just gonna let that one percolate for a bit, you pseudo intellectual fuck of a fan boy. Proving once again, that to be a rotary fan, you have to suffer some kind of traumatic brain injury. I'll leave it at this: if you're beloved whirlygigs are the best choice for an internal combustion powerplant, why'd they never make it to more cars, hmmm? YEs, a test fleet of hydrogen powered rolling pr agencies truly spells salvation for the rotary...
Any rotary fan knows about NSU, and it being the originator of the production rotary engine. That comment shows you are not knowledgeable, your question would be tantamount to asking a Texan about Texas past as former Mexican land. Don't you think most, if not all texans know that fact? Instead of sounding inteligent, you sound ponpously and daringly ignorant. Mazda is not pulling away from rotaries. Already in Europe, rotaries are the first nitrogen production vehicles in the market.
@jaimecidcampeador spoken as only a rotary apologist can...did you even bother to check the history of the rotary engine? Ever hear of a little company called NSU, and what it did for them? ever notice how mazda is shifting production away from rotaries? Come back when you have something to contribute besides puffery, yeah?
@25tab Another hatemonger talking through his rear end. I can appreciate the good in many things, including both rotary and piston engines. On the other hand, little minds like you express uncalled for loyalty to an imaginary master, in this case, your master the piston engine. W/o knowing anything about rotary engines, you talk rubbish, only to show others that the only rubbish is you and your boorish mind.
@jaimecidcampeador oh yeah, never mind that it nearly bankrupted them before, or the fact that to this day, they continue to be inefficient (ever seen what an rx 8 gets for MPG, or the fanboy fave the fd rx-7? It ain't pretty), unreliable (when compared to comparable conventionial engines), and sound like blenders.
