Mazda Hybrid Range Extender RE. 330cc single rotor 20kW/4500rpm. Automotive News December 19, 2013 - 5:12 pm ET YOKOHAMA, Japan -- Mazda Motor Corp. has given a new lease on life to its rotary engine in the form of a Mazda2 hatchback reconfigured as an extended-range hybrid. The prototype runs as an electric vehicle, with an electric motor powering the wheels. But it also gets a gasoline-powered 0.33-liter rotary engine in the rear that generates power to recharge the car’s lithium ion battery when the charge runs low. |

I hope they make these.....I'll just wait until the first one makes it to a junk yard, buy the mini-rotor block and go get 5 more rotors and give PPRE a call for a 6 rotor!!! Haha.
