Naw i meant better than that. Using Mazda's new Skyactiv-D technology for a low compression diesel but to incorporate it into a rotary, that would be some s**t!

I read an article one time about the hydrogen rotary engine and they were saying they weren't far off from having a diesel version worked out. That was, of course, long before they "Discontinued" the rotary engine.
