THIS IS NOT TRUE..MUST BE PROOFED. the rotor, rotate around the crankshaft. The rotor is the controlling power/movement so the crankshaft can not exceed the rotor speed. The reason a rx7 is able to REV to 9,000-12,000 rpm so quick, is because three power stroke is happening in one revolution. this is also why the car makes more noise than piston engine.

I will agree that it all depends on how you do your displacement classification, but the official classification for the RX8 is 1.3L.

654cc x 6= 3924cc
what does renesis stand for?. another selling hype?
