Ed,
From what I've read, and taking the current
economic climate and their effect of car sales,into consideration, I
suspect it will be another five or six years away.
I don't believe the engine will be much more
powerful but torqier with the larger stroke. The design will be slanted toward
pollution control, rather than extra power, as evidence by the narrowing of the
rotor to retain more heat in the combustion chamber, for more complete fuel
burn.
Some suggest for better power a wider rotor
(combustion chamber) would be better suited to our needs as in the Aixro
(spelling ?) go-cart motor - which has had some success in micro-light
aircraft requiring up to 50 hp.
Personally I unsure, but the proof will be in the
finished product.

I really like this
part :
A fundamental
part of Mazda's heritage, the gasoline rotary engine, will be substantially
upgraded in the early 2010s. Currently referred to as the 16X, the next rotary
engine will offer substantially improved performance and economy through use
of Direct Injection Spark Ignition and high-speed combustion technology,
enfolded in new rotary dimensions.
Early 2010’s? I guess
that might include 2011? That was another sources estimate. Well,
if that happens, then my next rotary transplant will be the 16B – can’t wait.
