Albeit maybe not in the form that we would all like.
But at least the rotary engine is not so dead in Mazda eyes after all.

Better than no rotary at all, it shows that they are still working on them.

they can stick it in my view, if a rotary engine is not directly powering the drivetrain its pointless, no lovely high revness as you exit a corner

This is probably a test bed for a hydrogen hybrid too. Bet there will be a few go-karts pinching the rotor !

H202 really is the way to go....the problem is you wake up with a horses head in your bed if you try to mainstream it! At work we\'ve made loads of cells and 1 of my mates is poodling about with a cell on his focus....It works. I believe that its perfect for a rotary as it cools and cleans as it burns.
