Exclamation RX8 Rotary Engine Construction (Video)

A pretty rad video of the RX8 rotary engine being built by hand, as each and every one is. The design is so unique and powerful i really love it.

I've seen the engine build one before, but nice one with the 'vette!

Cheers,

you can as long as you have the right ESHAFT.

its pretty cool that all the motors are built start-finish by 1 tech....I thought I had heard they have a team of 20-30 people that build all the renesis motors.

gotta love a hand built motor
