    Aint it a 1.3 litre engine but, as its a rotary, its effectively a 2.6 litre engine ??

    Yeah sorry its 654cc per rotor and it has two rotors. I dont get what you mean by it being effectively 2.6 litres. I mean the rotary rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishel engine is very different to a normal reciprocating IC engine.

    I've actually seen quite a few RX8s around here

    Thats what they are quoting the effect is, 1.3 rotary equiv to a 2.6l normal engine...

    Although the only problem is its got NO Torque, i'd like to drive one to see how it feels though
