Great video, EMD.

I freely admit to knowing SFA about the rotary engine. :-\

I understand that the RX-8 has twin rotors of 654 c.c..........making 1308 c.c or a weedy 1.3 litres.

Looks like I've no need to worry about the cambelt going tits up and taking the valves and piston with it. :y

Apart from spinning triangles instead of pistons the technology reminds me of the numerous smoky two strokes I once owned. :y

Yes there is that i think  :-\ spinning triangles indeed ....ive listened to a few on the tube and they do seem to rev high , coupled with a sport exhaust they pop and blow back quite a bit with flames  :o :)
