Mazda’s rotary sports cars are completely dead, as is the engine itself.

The second half of the Motortrend article does a great job explaining why a flat plane crank wouldn’t work with an LS motor. It comes down to vibrations and RPM.

I, for one, welcome our new squid overlords. 

Or better still...

I’m with you on this even though I know that beneath the ice layer is a race of hyper intelligent squid like creatures who once released , will come to our planet and destroy us. But hey, it was fun.
