Thought I might share this. If it's a repost, well, it's a good repost.

I'm not sure, and if someone with the mathematical fortitude can help me out here, but I remember seeing a discussion on the actual volume of the rotary engine and it comes out 2.6 liters (1.3x2) based on the way the engine works? I'm not entirely sure how that argument goes, but using 1.3 liters is considered misleading.
The engine is SMALL, there is no doubt of that. But it breathes differently than a piston engine.

From that same thread, thanks Pitz. The origin of the thread wasn't a discussion on how the rotary engine's displacement is accurately portrayed, but rather mathematics on power and estimated power in turbos.
But the article listed on page 3 is basically what I was looking for.

Oh lol, sorry. I'll apologize for the 1.3x2 statement (but it was the easiest way for me to remember it). It should technically be considered .65x4.

2003 engine, still produces more power per cc compared to some of the newest supercars like the R8 and GT-R some with two turbo's. Can you imagine the impact of a modest improvement on the current spec rotary? Secretly, I wish another manufacturer makes a rotary to create competition. The we will start to see some real development taking off. Just a wish, maybe Santa's listening.
