Mazda RX7 and Mazda RX8 use rotary engines. The working principle of a rotary engine is to directly convert the combustion expansion force of combustible gas into driving torque. Compared with reciprocating engines, rotary engines eliminate useless linear motion. Rotary engines are smaller in size, lighter in weight, and have lower vibration and noise, offering significant advantages.
