ROTARY SUPERCARS

http://www.worldcarfans.com/11108243...on-super-sport

Rotary Supercars has announced one of their upcoming models will be offered with an eight-rotor rotary engine that develops 2,840 PS (2089 kW / 2801 hp) and 2,580 lb-ft (3,494 Nm) of torque.

This will supposedly enable the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than one second (Top Fuel dragster territory) and hit a top speed in excess of 450 km/h (279 mph). If these figures pan out, the model would trounce the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and claim a new world speed record for a production vehicle if it indeed achieves that status.

Previously, Rotary Supercars announced their Predator GT with a four-rotor Wankel engine - based on the Mazda 13B MSP - would develop up to 1,200 PS (883 kW / 1184 hp) and a second model called the VelociRaptor was also in construction.

We're taking everything with a grain of salt, but the company has plans to unveil their first model at Top Marques Monaco 2012.

 

It's like binary. 16 rotors is next, followed by 32 bit. Er, I mean 32 rotors.

Isn't there already a 12 rotor engine?




Still, those numbers are quite astronomical.

 

It would be amazing if a rotary car was able to take the Bugatti's spot. I'd just love to see this engine running.

 

Rotary Supercars is someone w/ a pipe dream putting it on the internet.

The above 12 rotor engine is out of Missouri. I have exchanged messages w/ him. Very knowledgeable and nice fellow. +the motor actually runs.

 

i will cut off and eat my left nut if this thing ever sees the light of day

 

What the ****? 8 rotors? That's awesome.

 

Quoting for future reference...

 

The future rx8 with 8 rotors. That's why they called it rx 8...lol

 

I'd hit it.

 

was about to do the same

 

1mpg

 

I'll hold ya to it, lol.

Yes, 8 rotor engine = pure sex.

 

Nonsense... 10gpm i bet

 

Amen! They were asking to "invest" in the company when pre-ordering the cars...
Anyway an 8 rotor engine would be pretty heavy, where the hell will they place it?

 

2 rotors at each wheel.

 

yup first it was a four rotor and that went no where, now an 8? ha

me too, I was asked to come on board and be part of the company. I was asked to design the body, I did a couple initial concepts but did not hand them over due to a lack of payment. A few weeks later is when the photoshopped 599 appeared on the web, which wasnt even a good ps.

 

Oh I can spill some more then! The company that makes the transmission didn't receive many orders or infos as well...

 

If this car ever does see the light of day, it may save the RX model line.

I had a boat that got less than that. Twin Chrysler big block engines powered it.

 

Yes but it won't ever see the greenlight. How could it ever possibly meet our euro5 emission requirements?

 

I called BS the first time I heard of this company. Talk is cheap. The opposite was the Fraser-Nash Namir that displayed a concept vehicle to demonstrate their technology. You can research their capital backing and history vs this nonsense.

Paul.

 

Thats funny Kaz told that there were already investors lined up, although that was in the same lines as "ohh just send me what you got now(concepts) and Ill send the money in a little bit"

 

im also doubtful that it will actually be created...unless some one is that freaking crazy and has a mountain of cash to play with...

 

hahaha. if you think thats sexual then you have MAJOR issues

im merely displaying my confidence in this venture

 

Super/Hypercars are well beyond most people's income. When you've got mountains of cash to play with. Expensive toys.

I've seen crazier people/things at walmart.

 

he's not talking about being able to afford one. he's talking about r&d to actually build one. even tho a veyron costs $1million, bugatti still loses money on each one they sell because they were that expensive to engineer. the cost to simply build a prototype engine that may or may not even run would be several hundred thousand. then body areo suspension transmission etc. which unless they just play legos with a bunch of parts that already exist, the cost to simply produce one working prototype is more than ill probly make in my lifetime.

and ill doubt they just mash up existing parts cuz i imagine it will be hard to find parts that meet weight requirements while being able to handle those kinds of powers.
