Since I've seen it so many times before, unless some big name auto manufacturer like Ford backs that new engine design, it'll be dead within a year. The auto industry is extremely conservative and has a massive case of NIHS (not invented here syndrome).

Hopefully it'll thrive, but I'm extremely skeptical.

It is hard to deny the simple beauty of a Wankel rotor.
