Pic of the Week: Mazda's Wankels

For the epitrochoid admirers among us, behold a rotary love-in...

---

You don't have to stand far back from Mazda's 50th anniversary celebration of its rotary engines to think it a funeral procession. Google the term "rotary engine is dead" and you'll find plenty of people keen to explain why the once mighty Wankel may well have heard the death knell.

But at PH, we remain devotees of small capacity, high-revving engines and have pinned our hopes on Mazda will reveal something rotary powered at the Tokyo show later this month.

In optimistic expectation of a replacement to the RX-8, we were given the keys to a multitude of rotary-engined beauts from the Cosmo and RX-3 to the RX-7s and RX-8 at Goodwood last weekend. Of them all, this group shot is the one most requested. You're welcome...
