I am not sure that I agree with you.
The article is full of errors such as who designed it,it has an RX8 engine in the middle of it and the turbo\'s are said to be differing sizes,which is not true either.
It looks good at first,but anyone reading it and beleiving everything can be sadly misled due to the innaccuracies.
Regards
Carl

true but the diagram at the side of it is a conventional peripheral exhaust port i think.

i also like the line

It also mentions "R1 model."

There was  NEVER any model R1.

And if the Wankel is "Mazda\'s aged twin spinner", then what the hell are all those (much older) piston engines out there?

I do like the pictures, but I agree with Carl, not the best article.

I\'m being a bit picky, but let me say again, there was NEVER an R1 !

There was a type "R", and then a type "R2".

Mazda did not EVER call it "R1", the yanks gave that name themselves, to mean the "R".
