And the crazy German that bought us this in the first place is
Felix wankel
Yes we have German engineered engines and a jap body!! Bet some didn't know that!!!
Birth of Felix Wankel in Lahr, Germany. He is the inventor of the Wankel engine, a rotary design automobile engine bought and developed by Mazda. He is the only 20th century engineer to have designed an internal combustion engine which went into production.
He was gifted since childhood with an ingenous spatial imagination, and became interested in the world of machines, especially combustion engines. After his mother was widowed, Wankel could not afford university education or even an apprenticeship; however, he was able to teach himself technical subjects. At age 17, he told friends that he had dreamt of constructing a car with "a new type of engine, half turbine, half reciprocating. It is my invention!" True to this prediction, he conceived the idea of the Wankel engine in 1924 and opened a shop in Heidelberg to develop the idea, winning his first patent in 1929. He never had a driver's license, because he was extremely near-sighted. He was, however, the owner of an NSU Ro 80 with a Wankel engine, which was chauffeured for him.
