I had two 1970s RX-2s and they were such sleepers. They were tiny, but came with factory 4barrel carbs. My buddy put a 13B in his Datsun 510 and made a nearly perfect little sports car. Rob Dahm has shown how reliable and powerful they can be.
-
my uncles friend had a rotary lada, it was the fastest car in the region, as long as it lasted.. later they had to put 1.2l inline engine there :D
-
Late 21059 and the 90s rotary Samaras were available for civilians to freely purchase. The only issue was the price which was too high.
-
World: "Wankel engines are unreliable" Mazda: "You're rotating it wrong" Interesting, I heard about these before. But I thought they sourced PSA BiRotor engines for this project, never knew they developed own ones!
-
I had a 1980 RX7, terrible on fuel, no tourqe at all, but smooth and tons of fun. Factory 4 barrel carb with manual choke and a 5 speed. The factory redline on the tach was not the top revs. There was a buzzer that would go off in the dash once the actual top revs were achieved. Still amazing engines to this day!!
-
I guess it´s more likely that the Soviets reverse engineered the rotary engine from an NSU Ro80, a German mid-size sedan from the late sixties.
-
Great little motors, but I never knew about the Soviet ones. Cheers for another great informative video.
-
Just came home from a drive with my RX-8 and watched your video 😄 115‘000 km no problems yet 😁
-
gotta love some Visio Racer with the morning coffee 😊
-
And another great video,i had heard that they had a go at them but didn't realize they put so much effort into it .thank you
-
also we had some prototypes of rotary bikes, with completely different domestically engineered engines...And read about Vostok S-565 bike...and yeah, in the 90s rotary ladas were sold in small numbers. so this was beyond KGB. It was used by kgb as a result of failure of mass production because of engine and available oils quality - but it was fine for small series usage. and this V8 is NOT a cast iron engine,it's fully aluminium
-
Vaz-311 has more hp and torque then engine displacement which is impressive.
-
That was a stretch. Well into the dark underside of engine strangeness. Great clip
-
The Soviet union IS like the Wankel engine - it's good while it's working, but then bucke up! Great video!
-
Great stuff! Thank you!
-
USSR stole wankel for KGB? Seriously? USSR did a first flight to space.
-
