Hello an interesting topic is the Hansa 23R a conversion of the MX-5 to the Wankelmotor of the RX-8 Source:http://www.automobile.de/…/…-Mobile-23R-machts-möglich-18033.html The now third generation of the Mazda MX-5 serves as the basis for the Hansa 23R. Thanks to the technical partner, the Rotary-Motorsport Ltd. from Zernien, the car is equipped with a 231 hp Wankelmotorwerk. In addition, a six-speed transmission, a stronger braking system and a more direct steering are installed. The modification is complemented by a light wheel set with road-friendly semi-slicks and a sports suspension. The modified bonnet is intended to indicate by its triangular shape the installed Wankel motor. The vehicle has an unladen weight of 1,050 kilograms and, according to Hansa-Mobile, sprints in 5.4 seconds from its position at 100 km/h. The tunnelling ends only at 260 km/h. 17-inch OZ-Ultraleggera rims with 215 yokohama tires are intended to bring the performance to the asphalt. Asnorm is fulfilled. in the current car picture Sportscar also a big article about the conversion appeared… I find the conversion totally strong and makes the light MX-5 a driving machine that also has something to offer motorly… what do you think of the combination MX-5 and the Wankelmotor?? more info–> http://www.hansa-mobile.com/Editionsmodelle.htm mfg Andy
