it's not a 3 rotor yet... I believe it's 2... there are three points on each rotor... these act as the piston... as the triangle (rotor) spins around it compresses air just like a piston does only it does so with out a violent up and down motion.. it just spins. at any given point one of the 3 points is always entering the firing section of the engine another is pulling in A/F mix. and the other is compressing A/F mix.

They will be turbo charging these cars next year and introducing a 3 rotor after that if it's a succesfull line.

A friend of mine who's big into rotory engines says hold off till at least the second or third year of release.
