Rotaries have both advantages and disadvantages. Unforunately, they suck for gas mileage and are difficult with emissions which kills their appeal in today's gas concious, emission concious world. Power to weight ratio and power to displacement ratio, they just slaughter normal piston engines. Undertand the new "huge" rotary they are working on is ony 1.6 liter and will have around 300 hp, normally aspirated.
