Were you aware that the AMC pacer was originally intended to be sold with a front wheel drive with a rotary engine? I did not but was watching "full throttle" and this was pointed out that AMC bought plans for a rotary set up but were unable to make it run properly so scrapped the design for a six cylinder instead.

 

Now thats interesting, someone should buy one and right the wrongs that were made in the past.

 

Nah, It's to ******* ugly.

 

Get one, install a rotary and keep it correct wheel drive.

 

doesn't mercedes have a rotary project going, or did, or something?

 

i think everyone has had a rotary design at one point or another.

 

they had a big 4 rotor midengine prototype in the early 70's, i think they built 3 of em?

 

Chevy Monza was also designe to accept GM's rotary

 

imagine the shame if this was the view of the car in a race
