CRAP !!
Mazda last built a car powered by a rotary engine in 2012, the RX-8, but had to abandon it largely to poor fuel efficiency and emissions. It has continued to work on the technology, however, as it is one of the company's signature features.
A Wankel has three shortcomings compared to traditional piston engines:
engines. ...
The first is the surface to volume ratio of the combustion chamber affects the total efficiency capability.
The second reason is lubrication. Rotary engines have apex seals with a combustion chamber on both sides. In piston engines the bottom side of the rings is continually lubricated with engine oil. In Gen 1 Mazda rotary engines a small amount of oil was injected into the combustion chamber in order to keep those seals lubricated, much like a 2 cycle engine. That is not possible with current emissions regulations.
Which brings us to the third issue: emissions. This is essentially a subset of the first two. With low(er) efficiency and unique lubrication needs there is not as much flexibility to meet emissions with rotary engines.
