However the engineers tried several modified production cars with these engines. Firstly a 1st generation RX-7, then in 1988 (the RX-7's 10th anniversary) a 2nd generation RX7. This car was taken to the USA (Mazda's biggest market), for a number of automotive writers to evaluate. This caused speculation that a multi-rotor RX-7 may well be produced.

The car pictured below was fitted with a naturally aspirated 3 rotor engine, which probably would have been a 13G 3 rotor engine (Note that the 13G was never used in any production cars, however the related 20B was).

As the 13B 2 rotor fitted to the RX7 of the day was 654cc x 2 rotors = 1308cc, 146bhp@6500rpm , 187Nm(138lbft)@3500, one would speculate that the 13G with 654cc x 3 rotors would make 220bhp/280Nm(207lbft) at the same RPM, however this is only an estimate."

Notice the familiar-looking BAC valve.

Do you have any other links to the pictures? Those don't seem to work for me. I heard someone down under just bought an original 13G from Japan. Pretty bad ***. Here is the only link I have for info on the 13G motor: http://cp_www.tripod.com/rotary/pg19.htm

i have a 90 GTUs has 78,068 miles on it today. the paint on it is shitty and there are a few dents so its no perfect...yet. it also needs a rebuild, but it runs and what more could you ask for! (at the cost of 2 gallons of antifreeze a week)
