2800 HP 5.2litre 4 Rotor Supercar

[rossonza]

Thought you lot may find this interesting
 

And that\'s just the basic car. Rotary Supercars also reckons on creating a 2800hp, 2580lb ft version with a 5.2-litre, quad-turbo eight-rotor engine. Performance for that? How about 0-62mph in 0.9secs and 0-250mph in 4.8secs?

That power level was quoated against the 8 rotor, the 4 rotor was talking around 1200 hp and similar torque.
 
Somehow I think 8 rotor in a car is a dream - but there is a 4 rotor boat engine making nearly 900 horses and similar torque and that is real.  And over on the Rx7 club there\'s a 12 rotor made as three interleaved 4 rotor\'s - again destined for a boat...
 
but somehow I think it\'s probably just BS at this stage for these guys...

8 Rotor!  The eccentric shaft in that bad boy will need to be beefy!

unless the strap two quads together

They could always go via the Bently/VW/Bugatti route of 2 engines mated to a common gearbox a la W12/16 engine?
 
The :censored::censored::censored::censored:pit would be like a sauna though 2 x 4 rotors worth of heat!

I read about a 4 rotor supercar -> here apparently going to be better than a veryron.

[m1tch]

And the tyre supplier is.....?

Sounds like another concept car burried in some teenagers fantasy dream garage. 0-250mph in under 5secs which is quicker than a top fuel funny car, believe that your`ll believe anything.
Some pics were leaked early this year showing their 4rotor hyper car which was nothin more than a badly photo-shopped nissan gtr and some ferrari love child.
I even doubt the company even exists.
If there is show me magazine features, utube vids, dyno figures..... I`ll believe it when i see clarkson and the boys testing it...:Yawn:Yawn

A 4 rotor twin turbo would need some intense cooling! The veyron has something like 13 radiators to harness the heat and make the car reliable.

By the power figures they\'re claiming, they\'re using peripheral ports?

aren\'t those mated on a single crank though? How would you get two E-shafts and flywheels to turn one gear box? Or am I being slightly thick here?

True (I think it\'s 11 though... Yes I\'m a geek) but I think \'only\' 4 of them cool the engine. The others do the air con, diff, oil and hydraulic fluid for the rear spoiler (seriously).
As has already been said, I think this is all a big wind up from someone who\'s had a tad to much  and LSD one day

Yes but don\'t forget cooling the oil also takes heat away from the engine, and 2 big turbos on a 4 rotor would need an oil cooler of there own. The diff would need one too as the hp would cook a the diff without one, this car is also a road going super car so all the mod cons of the veyron would be in this car too, so it wouldnt be too far off the same amount of radiators of the veyron.

[B.Martin]

Well i hope it happens, might give Mazda a kick up the arse!

[AtomicRex]

It will happen...because it has.  They are on their third generation already  And yes that is of the 8 rotor!

[B.Martin]

You got some more info Rex?
