um..power to weight ratio and power per cubic inch is incredible for rotary engines....they just make very small engines. The current version is only 1.3 liters. The new 1.6 liter engine is going to make almost 300 HP and it's going aluminum to further reduce weight. If they can keep the vehicle weight down to 2700 lbs, this is going to be a serious car. As far as reliability, I drove an RX7 for almost 10 years and only put about $200 worth of maintenance into it.
