well original plans slated for a 2.1L 3-rotor sort of like an N/A 20B, RENESIS engine. I think we're still getting a 1.3L RENESIS engine sort of like a higher revving N/A 13b. the only problem is the torque output. rotary engines really NEED turbochargers to help them produce torque. however, the output in HP and torque will be pretty similar to the S2000, as well as the handling. I'm pretty sure they're tring to go after the s2000's market alot...it looks alot like it, the power is similar, similar handling and RWD. only problem is isnt not a drop-top, but it DOES seat 4 (not that thats a very big plus).

i'll be very interested to see how it actually does sales-wise...and performance wise, when someone releases a turbo (or maybe) supercharger kit, like the atkins centrifugal rotary blower
