Prototyped it into a racing engine, and was blowing Mercury away.

It's a shame they didn't have the time and finances to really develop
it.

Well I think somebody did put it into production in small 10 h.
models, but i wonder why it never caught on? and went the way of the
NSU and Mazda?

Even Yamaha and Suzuki tried them in motorcycles and they dropped as
soon as they were introduced, it seems.

Pretty much for the same reasons you don't see two-stroke motorcycles
anymore, fuel consumption and emissions.

For awhile I had an Arctic Cat snowmobile with a Wankel in it. Torque
out the ass but slow getting wound up!

I always heard the weakness was the rotor seals

An old GF in Virginia Beach had an RX-7 and one day it just didn't start. I
remember it had some miles on it, but not close to 100k.
She was told by Mazda mech that rebuilt the motor that once the
seal/compression ring thing wears, you get no compression and no more zoom
zoom zoom.

But power to weight ratio is real good. What was the gas mileage like?

It was very high when the car wasn't running. Otherwise, nicht so gut.

They made Evenrude snowmobiles with the Wankle. My dad had the 35 hp model
and they made a 45 hp model. I think they were way underated for
Horsepower.

Yeah, but the two strokes are soooooo much more fun;)

Scotty

They were sort of a two stroke, in you mixed the oil. What was more fun
about a 2 stroke. Lots of power, and the snowmobile had fantastic
acceleration and speed.

thjey eventually got great rotor tip seals. end seals were not a problem.
Emissions were the worst part. Wankel engineer talked to my engineering
class at San Francisco State and said all the changes for emissions reduced
the power and mileage lots.

The old "pre-emission controls" two strokes were fun. The new ones,
overly complex and not so much fun. And the stench of that modern two
stroke oil...phew.

My Arctic Cat was the 35hp version. Again, lots of torque and low end
performance.

I think that R&D could have developed the engine design into being
qite a contender ...eventually. But it would have taken too long for
market etc, and with the newer technology advances, somebody could
probably still do something with it and make it effective.

The evenrude machine had the continously variable transmission system, so
lots of omph through all the range.
