Two? I though it was three . . . since the rotor has 3 sides?

Depends on the engine. I believe there are actually some 4 rotor engines too.

The 13B is twin-rotor, the 20B is triple-rotor.

I think what bogan was talking about was the sides of the rotor being three, since it's a triangular shape, therefore having three revolutions per single revolution of a piston engine.

Mazda 787B = 4 rotors. <3

Um, if you are talking about the concept picture that was posted, no, that's the Nissan GT-R Proto. In other words, the next Skyline. Which has a twin-turbo V6 apparently.

He's talking about the car in the first post.

In terms of Japanese remakes, I think that the new Supra isn't that bad:

I don't think that it looks all that great. If anything should be a Supra remake, it should be this:

a 450hp hybrid capable of 200mph. How's that for a greener supercar?

Yeah that's what I was talking about, thankyou.

I know how many rotors there are. . .

hmmm i was actually dumb enough to read the article instead of the looking at the picture... But look at what i saw "Lexus GT450", "companies halo sports car. and not only that but they are constanly comparing it to current cars such as the 350z.

We just might see a supra within the next year.

EDIT: googled it and came up with this road and track vehicle. i believe the design of the exterior and engine is final.

Ugh, why are concept cars always so nasty?

Though that Supra concept isn't so bad.

Eww. If there gonna the Supra into something like that, they should stop and leave the original design alone

Really it's only the front end that isn't nice to look at. But the Supra was on the near verge of a supercar, wasn't it? If they changed the front end and stuck with the same hybrid engine, the Supra would be able to run with the top Japanese cars. Except for the high price tag...

I still don't like it, I like it as it originally looked. As a tuner

Well, The hybrid engine would still be perfect for it.
