I am a huge rotary fan, but honestly, in today's world it has really lost its appeal. The only way to make it competitive would be with turbos or electronic assist like the article suggests. The turbo set up will be notoriously unreliable, as history can tell us, and the electronic assist will be pretty heavy, which goes against the rx lines low weight philosophy. Personally, I would love to see the mazdaspeed 3's engine in an rx-8. That will be a win. |
