Which Cars Use Rotary Engines?

[MacRachel]

Some Mazda models use rotary engines, such as the Mazda RX7 and Mazda RX8. The rotary engine eliminates the reciprocating motion effect of pistons in traditional engine cylinders, directly converting the combustion expansion force of fuel and mixed gases into driving torque. Therefore, in terms of size, the rotary engine is smaller than traditional engines, while also featuring a low center of gravity and lightweight characteristics, which to some extent can improve the car's handling. The Mazda RX8 is a sports car under Mazda, equipped with a 1.3-liter twin-rotor engine. The car's dimensions are 4460 mm in length, 1770 mm in width, and 1340 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm. The Mazda RX8's engine has a maximum power of 170 kW and a maximum torque of 211 Nm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
