Next Generation RENESIS (Rotary Engine 16X)*
In developing the next-generation RENESIS, Mazda made a thoroughgoing revision
of engine dimensions including the trochoid rotor housing, adopting a longer
stroke and larger displacement of 1600cc (800cc x 2) aimed to raise thermal
efficiency and boost torque at all engine speeds. By employing the Hydrogen RE
design policy of a direct injection system and aluminum side housing, as well
as various other measures, we are further promoting the rotary engine’s
merits of light weight and compact size.
