The goals of the wankle were very different and the result was one of the best racing designs in history. The wankle engines dominated every road racing event they were used in and were eventually banned from almost every form of professional racing because piston engines couldn't keep up. They suck for commuter vehicles, but they definitely served their purposes. Maybe this will have opposite results.
