Those dudes are innovative and passionate and even when you ask em to build an electric car they are like "we had this "RE," um "range extender" we can put in it." Rotary bitch!
Quote:
As a company mostly helmed by engineers, Mazda does things a little differently. Where bean counters might have abandoned the modest torque and not the
inconsiderable thirstiness of the rotary engine, the company's directors seem obsessed with finding a way to cram their triangle-powered engine into
something, anything.

They are like that guy that wants to do something freaky and their girl says no, but they keep bringing it back around.

It's such a dichotomy and it's great.

That would make a great engine for my motorcycle. Gotta head over to Mazda parts and see how much one of those things cost. They will be so happy I'm not asking for 24 year old RX7 parts anymore.
