Top Fuel Rotary Engine!


Top Fuel Rotary Engine!

We’ve got to thank our buddy Jon for the tip, because this is something we never would have never thought of or looked for. It’s the homepage of a team of racers who plan to run a nitro-burning, rear-engine dragster powered by a rotary engine.

Dr. Wankle certainly never planned on having nitromethane course through the veins of one of his little rotary creations, but these guys seem to think that a rotary engine is the ultimate starting point for this volatile fuel. With the greatly reduced number of moving parts over a piston motor, their claims may have some merit, but we’re still skeptical.

What will is sound like? Who the hell knows, but we’d like to find out.

Hit the link to see the website to this car and this crazy idea. They are short on info just about everywhere, but the photos are worth a look!
