Rotary Powered Flying Saucer

Powered by 8 Rotary Engines!

Also sounds like it waste fuel as much as the RX8 :banghead:

Looks like a one way ticket to the grave.

I would love to invest in this company. It sounds as great as the satellite phone business did a few years ago, and DSL, and... :icon_no2:

^ You better be joking.

8 rotary engines pointing down instead of propelling the car forward... it's getting just over 1 mpg.

Of course. I've learned my lesson from those other ventures. I've got a better chance of recovering my money if I tossed it out on a windy day.

That saucer looks like one of those old vacuum cleaner motor powered hovercraft I saw in the back of comics as a kid.

Not exactly RX8 related, but definitely Rotary news
 
A company is now making flying saucers with rotary engines :-)
Talk about space-age technology..

But it runs on beer :yesnod:

No speed limiter, but it has an altitude-limiter..
Looks like limiters are standard on any rotary-based vehicle

that is pretty awesome. Especially if it goes 50mph!
