Note, Mazda wasn't the first to proceed down the rotary extended-range

e-tron concept at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. That allegedly led to
talks between Audi and Mazda, and rumors that Mazda was developing a
special-purpose rotary engine for the Audi A1 e-tron. While Audi chose
to forgo a rotary for its eventual road-going A1 e-tron, it appears
Mazda won't doing the same.


Says it all, really. The largest European car maker group has investigated
the wankle for just this purpose and abandoned it. And they own the
patents for the principle.

Mazda will be looking to sell to the gullible like you who have no
knowledge of their own, but believe press handouts. But in your case you
couldn't afford one anyway.


All true but there is still hope for it yet.
