I am going to need more than a couple CAD drawings and a PS'd Ferrari 599 photo to peak my interests. If that is the style they are going to production with, they should anticipate Ferrari filing lawsuits.

This.
Far too many 'companies' releasing a few renders and claiming to be the next big thing these days, I'll believe it when I see it.

Where is the headquarters of this German manufacturer? Who are the engineers and financial backers of this organization?

Nice fantasy!

Paul.

the expect to roll the first one out in a few months

To me it looks like a more menacing version of the Ferrari 599. The only way Ferrari could sue is if they built an exact copy.

I will believe it when I see it....

I doubt its fake. Why is this so hard to believe. Weve heard of a 4rotor before so we know they can be built. By the way, as far as 599. Kinda but too many differences. Why hate on something that can give the rotary more fame.

rubberduckie 10-05-2010 09:22 PM

If this is fake, someone put quite a bit of effort into it. The website seems pretty legit.

Rotr8 10-05-2010 09:28 PM

I guess Ill have to chime in here, without stepping on any toes.
Even though this is a photoshop the concept and project are real. Kazuma of Watanabe Engineering is the one who is behind this. He contracted me over a year ago about drawing up the body. He showed me what he was currently looking for in the design including PS's images of the 599 FX, I drew up 6 designs and downselected down to 2. However I never sent the designs to Kaz for lack of payment. And I guess now Kaz feels that his PSs are what design language he wants to go with, too bad becuase my designs are much more unique, and speak more to the Rotary bloodline, ohh well. His velocraptor design is a knock off of the Zenvo ST1



If Kaz still wants to pursue a business relationship with me, Ive got a lot of designs that he would find interesting

PS I believe you guys are looking for this?

Exactly! People need to realize that the rotary has never been represented to this level. I can't wait for top gear to get ahold of this thing!

stinksause 10-05-2010 10:46 PM

thanks for clearing that one up greg

WTBRotary! 10-05-2010 11:04 PM

Rotr8 is a HOSS... that is all... lol

stinksause 10-06-2010 01:19 AM

Hoss?

arghx7 10-06-2010 10:13 AM

The engine is designed for E85, that's the key to the power and emissions

rotarygod 10-06-2010 10:38 AM

4 rotor engine.
Naturally aspirated: 8 miles per gallon
Turbo: 3 miles per gallon
Twin turbo: 4 gallons per mile
Emissions: Haha just kidding!

Jedi54 10-06-2010 11:31 AM

wow, that thing is badass!
It's probably never going to be built but I would love to see a functional prototype ripping off a couple laps at the Ring

zoom44 10-06-2010 12:14 PM

Fred- they are boosting with E85 so the mileage will be better;) i bet they get 5 mpg easy.
