I'm old enough to remember when these were first shown - really looked like the future! Unfortunately, the Wankel engines were too thirsty, and a neat idea was shelved.

I also remember running all the data for my thesis on computer punch cards as shown in the video. It was also a glimpse into the future as far as we were concerned!

Thanks for sharing!

Like he said in the video, it was bad timing.
The oil crisis hit before they had developed the engines to a point where they were more economical and the diesel's took over that niche market ... sad.gif
