I owned a RX-7. I knew it was a Wankel rotary engine, but I did not know that Mercedes made a car around it. To this day, I don't know why supercars are still using a piston engine.

A rotary needs to be heavily boosted to get the HP that a small displacement v10 does. Also much different torque curves. Throw a small FI setup on a high revving v10 and a rotary really doesn't stand a chance.
