Worth a look if you think that Mazda has not been busy.

While I don't read German, the photo of the engine cutaway was
interesting.  Am I correct in my interpretation that the Renesis(tm)
engine is side-port intake and side-port exhaust engine?  I hadn't
realized that.  Also, the text indicates that the Renesis uses 40% fewer
parts (?) than the existing 13B (unless Babelfish got it wrong).

I think they got it wrong. Yes it is a six port style side exhaust and
intake. They get the power by advanced casting techniques for lightening
the rotors and running it faster. 9000 RPM peak power with a 10K redline.
Bigger ports and larger pipes too. What have I been saying? :-)
