A company called Changan has developed a new rotary engine, according to reports from CarNewsChina. It’s called the R05E, and ...

Changan’s R05E prototype achieves first ignition, signaling renewed interest in rotary engines but for a wilder application.

Wankel engines first saw use in production cars as early as 1964 -- and not even in a Mazda, but rather in an NSU. That little single-rotor powerplant quickly evolved into the more typical two-rotor ...

In theory, Wankel-style rotary internal combustion engines have many advantages: they ditch the cumbersome crankcase and piston design, replacing it with a simple, single-chamber design and a thick, ...

As demands for sustainability ramp up, electric vehicle systems have become one of the major focuses of the engineering scene, with certain governments even hoping to gradually phase out traditional ...

How the 13B-MSP Renesis evolved from earlier Mazda rotary designs, technical features explained, and common problems and maintenance issues discussed. The 13B-MSP Renesis rotary engine powered the ...

The Astron Aerospace H2 Starfire is a clean burning hydrogen and water powered internal combustion engine alternative to battery cell technology. There is very little parasitic power loss with the H2 ...

Mazda’s rotary engine is coming back in the spotlight, but this time it’s not just a nostalgic callback to the RX-7 glory days. Instead, it’s quietly shaping the brand’s electrified future. Rather ...

The rotary engine is unique in its success and failure and its ability to make an impact with a completely different way of thinking. As it is, every production car for the last 130 years, aside from ...

Mustafa has been interested in cars for as long as he can remember. He's gone from collecting Hotwheel cars as a kid to, well..... let's face it, driving a regular Toyota Corolla today because it's ...

In a world dominated by pistons, the rotary engine was something different for motorists. It was the vision of German engineer Felix Wankel, built on the belief that the up-and-down motion of pistons ...

Toyota, Subaru, and Mazda will join forces to develop next-generation internal combustion engines tailored for electrification, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, as part of their commitment ...
