Lada Wankels - who knew?
A page from a Brit car magazine.....
Lada made Wankel engines for thirty years!
Sorry about the missing bottom text, it was ripped from the mag by a neighbor.

It sounds like they weren't very good cars to drive, though.

Helluva rabbit hole.
Mercedes made a fiberglass, rear engine 3 rotor that they claimed could go 280 kmh
and even experimented with a 4 rotor.
They gave it up because even Mercedes could not make them dependable.
There's also a Leno's Garage video with a C111, but it was after the Wankels with a V8.
They did talk about it's Wankel history.

I had the chance to visit a collection of unique Mazda and cars with rotary engine, where a Wankel Lada parked next to a Citroen GS Wankel, a NSU and several Mazda. The Lada had a very unique engine design, did not look like a Mazda 13B.
