Jesus, u have to rev it hard, 250 bhp @ 8500 :eek:

dont like the idea that the back doors only open if you open the front ones first, how much of a pain in the ass is that! however, does look good, ill give it that ;)

[aka-coley]

this might be utter rubbish that i have dreamt but i think the reasoning behind the front doors having to be opened before u can open the back ones is a legal requirement as the the old fashioned doors are dangerous, thats why cars manufactures stopped designing those style doors years ago, feel free to bring me down to size if i am talking b0ll0cks :) and the rotary engines are so smooth and free revving in comparison to piston engines that 8500rpm comes round very quickly, so hard revving does not have the same meaning in a ****el engine than it would in a normal one

since when did the surname or the genius who invented the rotary engine become a swear word??!!! :D

8500 is the speed of the actual crank - the moving combustion chamber spins 3 times as fast! - 25,500RPM!!!!!!!
Makes an F1 car seem lame in comparison!
Probably why the tips on them go so much

erm, i'm lost. Whats the difference between a rotary engine and a normal one then?

Basically - rotary engines=the bollox and they should have taken over the world coz they're so ingenious.:D

For how a rotary engine works, very good site that.

RE the rear doors......................For thems that don'r know why you can't open them independantly; imagine them being opened at 150mph, they'd initially act as air brakes then snap off and kill someone.....cool.

I once had my old 200 doors ragged opened by a nasty gust of wind, it ****ed the hinges and bent my front wing, a 150mph wind would've seen the whole thing flying down the raod.
