I had never heard of this, thanks for the info. A friend of mine is obsessed with Corvettes but hates rotaries so I can't wait to tell him.

Mercedes did something like that too. I think it was called the C111. It was pretty cool, had gullwing doors. For some reason I think it may have been a 3 or 4 rotor.

The Mercedes was called the C111 . It was a prototype that was made in a 3 and 4 rotor configuration. here is a link to some more info http://www.monito.com/wankel/mercedes.html

If anyone ever read the RX Tuner article, they would know this. I think it's the first part of the Rotary History article.
