The Rotary Engine Lives On

In the news this week, we take a look at the state of the local automotive industry amidst the indefinite FMCO before discussing the E-Legend EL1 (a retro-revival Audi Quattro), the new V6-powered Ferrari 296 GTB, and 2 new Porsche 911 variants.

 

In Part 2, we discuss Mazda's iconic Wankel Rotary engines and how its legend lives on in the hands of 10 veteran engine builders in its 5 decade-old factory in Hiroshima, Japan.

 

After that, Part 3 takes a look at the new Audi Q3 Sportback - a lesser-known Audi model in Malaysia, and one that Daniel feels should have been Audi's ticket to re-establishing themselves in the Malaysian car market.
