    Mazda should have made the rotary better and continued the rx series

      if that’s how it is, rx9 would already be out, but world is different as the world in the 90s, because of the environmental protection, the rotary produces too much harmful gases for the environment, and it still can’t passed the test, you think they don’t want to make a new one? they already made it

      *This week marked the 10 year anniversary of Mazda's board cancelling the RX brand and further development of Wankel engines.*
      *The RX brand's bad reputation for unreliability and poor fuel economy saw sales in a steady decline as far back as 1986 with the last two RX model suffering a net loss for the company... it is estimated that the RX-8 lost nearly $3 billion dollars in development, production and warranty costs that bankrupted the company for the third time in its history.*
      *As part of the government bailout loan deal Mazda agreed to cancel development of the unprofitable Wankel engine and drop the failing RX brand.*

      @Bill Luo *While it is a common urban myth that the RX-8 was canceled because of emissions, this is simply not true.. The RX-8 continued to pass the world's toughest emissions standards (EPA Tier2 Bin5 **_AND_** the strict California CARB ULEV II right up until lack of sales ended production.*
      *Sales of the RX-8 were so low in Europe there was simply no reason to justify re-certifying the RX-8 to meet the Euro5 emissions standards as they would never sell enough units to recoup the costs incurred.*

      To get the rotary passing the latest emissions, would have taken time and resources. Mazda had all its engineers on the SkyActive projects, which was viewed as essential for the company.

      @@doktorbimmer The uk government are being forced to ban or limit diesel cars by 2040. They are giving off high amounts of carcinogenic pollution and are credited for a large rise in cancerous deaths. A lot of the diesel emission testing didn't apply to real world situations while many were falsified. In other words 95% of diesel cars are marginally better for us than petrol if at all, some diesels are worse. DPF filters (that limit the cancerous fumes) are also a very big grey area in effectiveness. Many people have them removed as they block up easily and are costly to replace. Also very conflicting evidence in how well they actually filter while working on top of the added pollution they take to make. Also much pollution is added because some people are forced to ''drive on the motorway to clean the filter''. If they don't do that a warning light puts cars into limp mode. Sellers of such cars do not tell people that diesels are very bad to be used as anything but long distance vehicles. Car makers want sales, telling people a car that is bad in short journeys is not good business for them so they don't say it.

      And I am sure they have already developed billet based parts that are capable of extreme durability. Did Mazda thought about this back in the 1960s. No why because times where different then and I am sure billet blocks and heads didn't come into existence. There is intellectual aptitude yes but pure intellect alone does not subsitute for pratically reality of manifesting things. You need skill and intellect to make something manifest. In the case with these guys. They are keeping this relic of mechincal engineering around and are improving upon it as we speak and breath. So yeah...do not doubt that something is assumingly futile because it has failed in the past. It can be reworked and improved upon as you can see with this shop here:

      I've heard that story many times. And for some reason, whenever it gets to the point of him lighting his cigarette, an odd piece if music begins playing. At first it sounds all silly and fun, but then it suddenly turns all serious. And just as the verse is about to kick in, you can here a different middle-aged man, possibly a friend of the crazed driver, shout at the top of his lungs for someone to save him. And then all sounds are cut, replaced by the clear sound of tires screeching. Gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it.

They are giving off high amounts of carcinogenic pollution and are credited for a large rise in cancerous deaths. A lot of the diesel emission testing didn't apply to real world situations while many were falsified. In other words 95% of diesel cars are marginally better for us than petrol if at all, some diesels are worse. DPF filters (that limit the cancerous fumes) are also a very big grey area in effectiveness. Many people have them removed as they block up easily and are costly to replace. Also very conflicting evidence in how well they actually filter while working on top of the added pollution they take to make. Also much pollution is added because some people are forced to ''drive on the motorway to clean the filter''. If they don't do that a warning light puts cars into limp mode. Sellers of such cars do not tell people that diesels are very bad to be used as anything but long distance vehicles. Car makers want sales, telling people a car that is bad in short journeys is not good business for them so they don't say it.

    Why aren’t they diesel so that there is no need for spark plugs and when it gets to max compression it could ignite like that

      Several major manufacturing companies attempted to develop compression ignition for Wankel engines.
      Unfortunately the Wankel engine simply cannot be adapted to the Diesel Cycle because of the geometry limitations and the inability to support the required static compression ratios.

    Felix Wankel’s engine was conceived during a dream. In it, 17-year-old Felix was driving his car to a concert. When he arrived, he bragged to his friends that his car used a new type of engine - half turbine, half reciprocating. “It is my invention!” he told his friends. Upon waking up, Wankel became dedicated to building his engine. Though he never received a formal degree (or a driver’s license), Wankel was a gifted engineer.
