A recent decision was made by the owner of Diamond to not go forward with the
2 rotor at this time. He feels it is too expensive to make. My feeling is
people will pay extra for the wankel. Send him email and tell him you
will pay $12,000 US :) My guess also is he does not fully understand the
engineering trade offs that affect the price of manufacturing it as
Mark Wrathal pointed out. If it were me I would miniaturize the Mazda.

**** Right on Paul,   remake the 10A using 13b technology. Besides it would be a
fabulous engine for the MX5/Miata.
