The best news of the day. Without a doubt. Gentlemen, prepare your wallets and start saving, because Mazda has confirmed that within two years will launch the production version of the Wankel engine 16X .
The objectives for this new generation Wankel were clear from the very beginning: to reduce fuel and oil consumption, and improve low-end torque. This 16X prototype and showed us some of their news, with a redesigned combustion chamber, with more displacement, and more "career", thanks to higher range. Drag 1.3 liters, the 16X would have a displacement equivalent to 1.6 liters. They sacrifice some maximum speed at first, but everything else will improve the propellant.
