What a Turbo Renesis might look like...

I am a new member here, but I found this image and thought I would share it with you. I don't know if you have already seen it, or if there are already turbo Renesis's out there, but here you go...




Incase your wondering, the engine is the 4 port rather than the 6 port, and this engine is set up to run on gasolene and Hydrogen!

Yep that's old news here. That was in the hydrogen concept RX-8 at the Tokyo (and others) auto show. The horsepower of that engine is below what the 6 port RX-8 is already getting. The hydrogen tank also sits in the middle of the trunk rendering it unusable for anything else. The turbo on that car is electric motor assisted to help spool up times.

Yep,
RG is correct
Saw it at the detroit auto show, so far storing the H gas proves to be the problem.
Could be the wave of the future????

ha ha, what I meant by wave of the future is this
"Hydrogen burns to produce water. Hydrogen is relatively safe because it vents upwards. Gasoline (petrol) is more dangerous because its vapors creep along the ground and pool in engine bays and around tanks. New multiple evidence conclusively shows that the Hindenburg burned because its outer cover ignited and burned before any hydrogen and faster than the hydrogen."
its from http://www.monito.com/wankel/ an old but good source of gouge about the wankel
