Hi,
I had a rotary engine in a car once. An NSU Ro80.
A superb piece of kit. The engine was thirsty and the ceramic lobe tips wore
out an alarming rate but it was as smooth as silk. i think they now only
produce the Spyder.
The car itself was well balanced with a manual gear shift. The clutch was
operated electrically so that when you put your hand on the gear stick a
contact was made and the engine de-clutched. The mis match of engine and
wheel speed was taken care of by a torque converter.
Quitest and smoothest car I ever owned.
The darndest thing. Some years ago I flew into an RAF field which now houses
a Transport Museum and there was my old car on display
Cheers
Pat.
