What is Mazda’s rotary engine?

The rotary engine is a unique type of engine that Mazda famously used in several of its cars, most notably the RX-7 and RX-8 sports cars.

Unlike traditional piston engines, rotary engines use a rotating triangular rotor to create combustion.

This design is compact and can produce high power outputs for its size.

However, it is also known for being less fuel-efficient and more challenging to maintain.
