Bob Templin was the chief executive in charge of rotary-engine research at the GM Tech Center in Warren, Michigan, but Ed Cole would leave his office in Detroit twice a week for the trip to Warren, taking charge of the program. [2] The engine was initially targeted for an October 1973 introduction as a 1974 Chevrolet Vega option.
The XF-40 is a single-rotor Wankel engine. It is a 294 cc (17.9 cu in) displacement, liquid-cooled, petrol engine design, with a poly V belt reduction drive with a reduction ratio of 1.25:1. It employs capacitor discharge ignition and produces 36 hp (27 kW) at 6500 rpm.
The Wankel engine is a type of rotary piston engine and exists in two primary forms, the Drehkolbenmotor (DKM, "rotary piston engine"), designed by Felix Wankel (see Figure 2.) and the Kreiskolbenmotor (KKM, "circuitous piston engine"), designed by Hanns-Dieter Paschke [2] (see Figure 3.), of which only the latter has left the prototype stage ...
Mistral Engines SA was a Swiss developer and manufacturer of wankel rotary aviation light aircraft, helicopter and unmanned military vehicle engines. [1] Its headquarters was in Geneva, Switzerland [ 2 ] and was majority owned by DEA General Aviation, a Chinese company based in Guangdong .
Mazda's strength since the 1960s has been in its line of Inline-4 engines. Beginning with a tiny 358 cc kei car engine, one of the smallest ever made, Mazda continues to this day to be a leading developer of this type of engine. OHV engine – 358 cc–1.2 L OHV I4 (1961–1974) xC engine – 1.0 L–2.0 L SOHC I4 (1965–1983)
From 1945, Bensinger became head of Passenger Car Engine Development. [2] He designed engines such as the six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz M 180 Otto engine (later used in the Mercedes-Benz W 187 series Type 220), [ 7 ] and he contributed to the design of the Mercedes-Benz M 198 Otto engine used in the Mercedes-Benz W 198 series Type 300 SL.

The Mercedes-Benz M 950 is a prototype Wankel rotary engine made by Daimler-Benz. It was first described in Wolf-Dieter Bensinger's 1969 essay Der heutige Entwicklungsstand des Wankelmotors, published in January of 1970. [1] The engine was developed by Daimler-Benz's Wankel engine department, headed by Bensinger.
Wankel engines run very hot, [7] so Garside gave this air-cooled motor additional interior air-cooling. Filtered air was drawn through an intake that was forward-facing to provide a ram air effect. This air was channelled initially to the rotating mainshaft and through the interior of the two rotors, then entering a large pressed-steel plenum ...
