Wankel engines are essentially very sophisticated 2 stroke motors, or constand loss 4 stroke engines.
I had the use of a Norton Rotary motorbike: brilliant, smooth, refined but it used 2L oil per 20L petrol....

Unless Mazda has made a lot of progress I don't see any Wankel motor meeting modern emission requirements...
