Pretty.
But aren't Wankels banned from Le Mans, right after Mazda won?

Mazda´s latest designs swept me off my feat! Damn
This is just a prototype to showcase the new Wankell, it´s not intended to race LeMans

Could be a halo auto show design to enhance Nissan's sporting image or a preliminary design exercise exploring the possibility of competition.

I believe so. Mazda tried using a rotary for the ALMS too but they switched back to a turbo inline 4. They said the rules against rotaries were prohibitive.joseff wrote:Pretty.

Damn, it´s beautiful... one of the best designs ever! I´m guessing it´s fast too, anyone knows if it actually did some time on the track?

I was reading the car section in a discarded copy of (that ever so insightful publication) The Sun, on my lunch break at work the other day. Apparently IF Mazda do put it into production it could be branded as the new RX-7.
Not that it looks a damn thing like one!
