I'm guessing it was a nissan motor. More than one company bought rights to use the Rotary, not sure if nissan was one of them but...

Chevrolet had a concept 4-rotor Corvette

Ford had a concept rotary mustang I believe as well.

chevy also had a 2 rotor concept corvette

Umm, Rolls Royce also had the licence for rotary engines. I think they abandoned the idea because of high fuel consumption (bit of a joke when you look at the consumption of the 6.75L V8!)
