awesome engine, but I don't think that's gonna fit into a 7 without some serious chassis modification.

That's pretty cool. I've never seen any pictures of their 4 rotor out of the car. It looks like they really improvised that engine by literally coupling two 2 rotor engines together. It's pretty long. It appears to have side intake ports and peripheral exhaust ports.

Didn't I read somewhere that this engine had equivalent displacement to a 400ci V-8. I could be wrong about that so don't quote me.

The distance between the leading and trailing plugs looks huge.

I bet each rotor has a single plug
