Yes but it is a 1.3 Rotary enginee which is totally different to a typical piston engine it has fewer parts for one, A two-rotor rotary engine has three main moving parts: the two rotors and the output shaft. Even the simplest four-cylinder piston engine has at least 40 moving parts, including pistons, connecting rods, camshaft, valves, valve springs, rockers, timing belt, timing gears and crankshaft.
This minimization of moving parts can translate into better reliability from a rotary engine.
Also all the parts in a rotary engine spin continuously in one direction, rather than violently changing directions like the pistons in a conventional engine do making them more effifcent. Rotary engines are internally balanced with spinning counterweights that are phased to cancel out any vibrations as well so also appear smoother in running.
The power delivery in a rotary engine is also smoother. Because each combustion event lasts through 90 degrees of the rotor's rotation, and the output shaft spins three revolutions for each revolution of the rotor, each combustion event lasts through 270 degrees of the output shaft's rotation. This means that a single-rotor engine delivers power for three-quarters of each revolution of the output shaft. Compare this to a single-cylinder piston engine, in which combustion occurs during 180 degrees out of every two revolutions, or only a quarter of each revolution of the crankshaft (the output shaft of a piston engine).
Yet it is diffulccut for rotary engines to meet emissions regulations hence only a 1.3.
And they typically consume more fuel than a piston engine because the thermodynamic efficiency of the engine is reduced by the long combustion-chamber shape and low compression ratio.
So you can't really class it as a 1.3

Nah I don't tend to do donuts in that the skyline on the other hand I abuse and have done many, handbrakes and stuff all day once as the tryes almost needed changing so I thought I wear them out
