Ha. That brochure.. the colors.. they burn my eyes!!!!

But still, I want a cosmo 110 so bad I can taste it.. x.x

"is that each rotor generates two power pulses for each crankshaft rotation"

u got it the other way around. the exhaust phase takes 270 degrees of eccentric shaft rotation. it would take 540 degrees of rotation to make 2 ehaust pulses. the long exhaust phase is what helps give rotary engines such awesomely straight torque bands

Is it just me, or are 2 different threads being interleaved in this one? Some of the posts above read like they belong in the "Is it a 1.3 or 2.6 liter?"

o.O

wow - now thats a brochure - complete with technical info about the rotary and power curves and nice artistic graphics too (in my opinion).

The logic (I guess) is that each rotor generates two power pulses for each crankshaft rotation. I find this odd when thinking that 2-stroke engines have been compared straight across the board to 4-stroke engines in terms of displacement. That is to say, I've never heard of a 175cc 2-stroke called a 350, either by the manufacturer or 4-stroke competition.

In my simplistic thinking, displacement is displacement. Why should crankshaft rotation have anything to do with it? I say, Kudos to the engineers who figured out a way to get more bang with less movement.

1.3L

MotoGP racing: 500cc 2-strokes vs. 980cc 4-strokes
Motocross: 125cc 2-strokes are classed with 250cc 4-strokes
250cc 2-strokes are classed wtih 450cc 4-strokes

Edit: BTW, LOVE the commercial... I've had that song in my head for a couple of days now.

Now I feel old ,,I remember watching that commercial on TV

I've never seen that one before. It must not have aired in my area or something. :dunno:

Not unless your area is England.
