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.

Here is an idea.  Design a 13B like engine based on the diamond
mechanicals, and have them make troichoid housings for us with their
current equipment, maybe more.  Those are the hardest things to
produce.
