Rotary News | Mazda 16X Rotary Engine

Mazda is calling this new rotary the “long-stroke rotary engine.” Mazda has increased the engine displacement to 1600cc (800cc x 2) and though they’ve made the 16x significantly larger than the 13B - it weighs less than a 13B.

 

Mazda’s aim is “greater thermal efficiency” - which basically means, any car powered by the Mazda 16x is going to move like stink. Mazda says this [thermal efficiency] will increase torque at all engine speeds. (Rotary engines are notorious for having low torque, especially on the low-end.)
