Is Speed Source using a 3 rotor renesis?

I was talking with a guy about cars , and this question came up. I know they were using a 20b 3 rotor motor, but i thought Mazda supplied them with a 3 rotor renesis as of date?

If you know , please fill me in. Thanks.

It's a 20B, not a Renesis. It does have three rotors:


"The GT-class Mazda RX-8 comes with carbon-fiber bodywork, a Mazda 20B three-rotor engine, and components for the Grand American GT class. The chassis built by renowned chassis developer, Riley Technologies, was created specifically for 20B three-rotor engine."

They show up on EBAY & http://www.atkinsrotary.com/ from time to time. Be sure to plan on a couple months without the car and spending 10-20G more to get it running.
