    That is bad azz! The technical genius it took to design and build things like this at the turn of the century is just amazing to me.

    I love brass era cars and that thing is all kinds of rad, thanks for posting! I remember joking with my dad when I was a kid about wanting a rotary engined car because I liked the whining sound on start-up that all the old war movies used to portray. I never knew one actually existed.

    ....

    Very cool engine!

    Why does he keep calling it a rotary engine?...it's not a Wankel...it is a radial engine.

    Here ya go Joe!!

    Answer:

    A rotary airplane engine works differently from a radial aircraft motor. The rotary motor engine has the propeller fixed to the engine and the whole assembly spins which helps reduce overheating......

    These were in use long before Mazda marketed the "Rotary" Wankel in a car!!

    Spot on up until the last sentence.

    Mazda didn't create the Wankel rotary engine, Felix Wankel did, and he designed it LOOONG before Mazda put their first one into the Cosmo. Also, Mazda was not even close to being the only one to use it in their cars; the best you could credit them with is being the ones that most avidly pursued making the Wankel engine a viable sports car engine.

    I didn't say Mazda created the Wankel........I knew it was Felix's baby.......Mazda simply put it in a car and called it a "Rotary"!!

    I had one of the damn things in an RX-1..........made some very strange noises to include BOOMING backfires!!

    Fixed it for ya!!

    Hahaha, very nice.

    I've seen a number of RX owners that had de-catted their exhaust brag about keeping a flame going out the tail pipe. Inherent excessive fuel consumption + coasting at higher rpm + no catalyst = a heck of a show behind the car.
