Yes it is simpler in design. The Wankel engine is such a weird form, but try and get a Rotar4 system fitted instead of the Rotar2 and get upwards of 600bhp. The Rotar4 type was used in the classic Mazda racecars for Le Mans.

only break if not treated well, and or tuned badly... they do have a average of 60k life on them because of rotor tips and seals tho.

They actually tend to use a 3rotor engine from the cosmo, this gets around the 600-700bhp mark. There is however a bloke i know who is getting a 4rotor engine built for him to go in his rex!

and then its re-build time!!!
they are ok if you dont do much mileage but not very practical if you do!!!
Fcukin quick tho!! My mate built one which went on the cover of max poo ages ago, was a purlpe one, pushin some serious power (proven power not a maxy poo guesstimate!!!) He worked for dragon tuning before they went bust!!
It went like a dream!!!
