If you have driven a Wankel Mazda then that statement is evident. Otherwise, you’re living in the dark. But now that electric cars are so easy to acquire, all ICEs are quaint.
One of the amazing things about rotary engines is how compact they are. I mean, being able to fit both a standard 2 rotor or 3x that (6 rotor) in the same car. Not aure what mods they may have done for the 6 to fit, but 4 fits ok from my understanding
so, aside form the eccentric shaft and tying all the housings together, theres not a lot of "complex engineering" that went in to that. the real reason that thing costs $69.000 is because theyre trying to recoup the time spent milling the custom parts on the machine. for some perspective here, you could buy a GM 632 big block that makes 1,000hp and 875 torque on pumps gas, WITH A TWO YEAR WARRANTY for $33,000.
In away I'm kinda a purist. So i would have to keep it in a mazda. I know it kinda sounds stupid And i really don't see anything wrong with engine swaping to a different make car. But for some reason i just feel wrong doing that. My favorite engines are 2JZ GTE, RB 30 DETT, SR 20 DET, 1 UZ, ZZ 632, I forgot the name of the Toyota 3 cylinder, and Rotary engines. And while yes i would love to swap My Nissan Silvia 13 with either a 2JZ GTE or a 6 Plate Rotary i have a hard time bring myself to do that. Lol
where the fuck do you see a wet sump setup. i mean, the assumption is correct, because most are wet sump, but many race cars and four-stroke are dry sump systems.
Why not drop a 6R in a new F1 car? Then, drop it on the season of F1 just for chits and giggles. Don't let anyone but the FIA until after the first race...
@@Richie_RHD I have to disagree with you and here's why, Resonance describes the phenomenon of increased amplitude that occurs when the frequency of an applied periodic force (or a Fourier component of it) is equal or close to a natural frequency of the system on which it acts. When an oscillating force is applied at a resonant frequency of a dynamic system, the system will oscillate at a higher amplitude than when the same force is applied at other, non-resonant frequencies.[3] Frequencies at which the response amplitude is a relative maximum are also known as resonant frequencies or resonance frequencies of the system.[3] Small periodic forces that are near a resonant frequency of the system have the ability to produce large amplitude oscillations in the system due to the storage of vibrational energy. Resonance phenomena occur with all types of vibrations or waves: there is mechanical resonance, orbital resonance, acoustic resonance, electromagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron spin resonance (ESR) and resonance of quantum wave functions. Resonant systems can be used to generate vibrations of a specific frequency (e.g., musical instruments), or pick out specific frequencies from a complex vibration containing many frequencies (e.g., filters). The term resonance (from Latin resonantia, 'echo', from resonare, 'resound') originated from the field of acoustics, particularly the sympathetic resonance observed in musical instruments, e.g., when one string starts to vibrate and produce sound after a different one is struck. Overview Resonance occurs when a system is able to store and easily transfer energy between two or more different storage modes (such as kinetic energy and potential energy in the case of a simple pendulum). However, there are some losses from cycle to cycle, called damping. When damping is small, the resonant frequency is approximately equal to the natural frequency of the system, which is a frequency of unforced vibrations. Some systems have multiple, distinct, resonant frequencies. No need to thank me for this simple explanation - just buy me a 6 pack instead.
Don't tell but in the 80s I checked out a book about Felix Wankel and his engines and never returned it. The late fees must be epic 😅. Great video.
Hahah😂😂
brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap ! 😎 the coolest idle sound of any engine ever ! no discussion.
i figured it would be at least 6 figures for such a niche product
This 6 rotor will eat all naturaly aspirated v8's for breakfast 😋
No it won’t but it will be 5x more expensive and be a quarter as reliable
Agree, the sound alone will be way better for sure.
@@rjung_chThat’s a matter of opinion not fact. So, good for you and your perspective.
@@TurboB5 so much is subjective these days. Guess, to each his own.
Enjoy what you like. We all should.

Sounds like a Williams v10 engine from the early 2000s but revving to 30k rpm, sure sounds amazing

Hell yeah I would get it, and put it in my 2006 S197 mustang

jesus fucking christ the RPM on that thing is insane

$66.60 BARRA 6 for me from pick a part.
$70K in USD or NZD?

Nice power output... but since i heard aboat Nissan dig tr 1,5 40kg 400hp engine it's hard to impress me.
put a 6 rotor in 1990's f1 car

put a rotor in a modern f1. that way f1 might be watchable
👍💪✌️

I respectfully disagree , the best sounding Engine of all time is the Rolls-Royce Merlin , hear her purr :) ua-cam.com/video/S0qxjX4YlNg/v-deo.html
i respectfully disagree with your respectful disagree and disagree that the merlin is not the best sounding engine.

can't beat rotaries
Nothing sounds as good as a blown injected big block on nitro… !!
