A sound reminiscent of the Matra/Ligier driven by Jacques Laffite at Long Beach in the late '70's. Loudest car I ever heard, reverberating off the walls, going up the hill on Pine Street to Ocean Blvd. 1.5 liter, 12 cylinder turbo, 1000 b.h.p., I believe.

Love the sound of a ported 13B !

My friend's son just uploaded these old super 8 videos of his 12A rotary Sprite from probably the early 90's. Pretty cool sound!

The description of " a thousand angry chainsaws " may be an under statement :D

I had an RX3, sort of a pig on fuel economy

Saw the real car at the Fuji Motorsport Museum a few weeks ago

Stunningly cool car :cool:

When I left GM they let me have one of the rotors out of their experimental engine project. They had abandoned the project and were scraping all the "junk." It was one of their PMT parts manufacturing experiments (made of powdered steel), as well as an engine design project. I don't know if it was PMT just because it was a prototype, or that they actually planned to make them from powdered metal. My first wife and I had it in our living room as an "objet d'art" for a while.
When we split up, for some reason, she wanted to keep the damn rotor. I wanted out so bad that I just said yeah, whatever.
Wish I still had it.

The guy that built my 250 put one of those in an RX7. Apparently you can get silly hp out of it with turbos.

Moto gp and the superbikes that rev to 15k rpm.

The down shifting at 1:50 was beautiful.

If your close to them on the exhaust side, they will make your hearing go away real quick. What you are hearing on this video is nothing compared to real life.

Amen.

Spent a weekend at the Daytona 24 hour race (84 or 85) with 3 of the godforsaken things pitted next to us. Hated every minute of it. During the race, there seemed to always be one of the damn things in the pits at any given moment.

Hated them ever since. A plague upon racing. Anything but a rotary.

If you like rotatory engines, how about 12?
