The 4-rotor one is better. For a variety of reasons.

there was an article in Motor Trend about the timeline of corvettes and they showed the 2 rotor and 4 rotor and i wondered how different things would be if corvettes had rotaries for a period of time.

Even Ford had experimented with using the RO80 engines in the 64 Mustang, before deciding that the cost of tooling up for the new engine would cost more that the benifits would merit...
