Oil, the biggest expense of Rotary boys, has disappeared. So why not?

General Motors created the Experimental Project 882 (XP-882) car in the late 1960s. It was also known under the name Chevrolet Aerovette. John DeLorean was the brand’s general manager at that time. However, Ford’s plans to sell DeTomaso Pantera through LincolnMercury dealers eventually led to Ford cancelling the program. In 1972, the XP-895 was created as a Corvette mid-engine with an aluminum body, and a special powertrain.

The Reynolds Aluminum Car was also known as the four-rotor engine . It consisted of two Chevrolet Vega 2-rotor engines that were joined together. This unique engineering feat produced approximately 420 horsepower (313 megawatts). We now come to the main point of this article: someone will build a modern-day Corvette C8 using a four-rotor engine.

Rob Dahm is the creator of the YouTube channel with the same name. It focuses on rotary engines and will use a new 2020 Corvette to complete the project. Not a crashed one. It is possible that eBay will soon have a new C8 powertrain available. This could be something you might consider in the future.

Dahm explained that he isn’t yet looking to buy a new C8 as he waits for another garage to balance the rotary assembly balance. He will start looking for a Corvette opportunity once this task is done – and it’s done correctly, since that’s the basis of the whole project.

This is a very early stage of our project. There’s not yet a car or a running engine, but we are excited to see where it goes. We are hoping for a Corvette rpm monster.
