Pictured with rotary lead engineer Seiji Tashima at Mazda’s Yokohama R&D center, the bigger capacity two-rotor 16X RENESIS manages to be virtually as light and compact as the current 13B-MSP in the RX-8.

Instead of bolting on a couple of turbos, Mazda’s increased the size of the rotors and housing, giving a longer stroke and new 1600 cc capacity (800cc x 2).

With direct injection also on board, power and torque are both up 20 percent, yet the engine is also cleaner and of course designed to use less oil than today’s 13B.

Rotor housing and side housing are now aluminum and the new chamber design, plus direct injection are keys to improving the rotary’s notorious thirst.
