Rotisserie... Two Roti... Nothing to spit at.

Rotisserie History.

 

I just may have become one of the world's only multiple Rotus owners. I now have two Roti, having purchased Old Yellow's rotary powered Rotus.

 

I really can call my car a Rotus and not be politically incorrect, since it is a Lotus based on a rotary engine concept and not something that a given portion of humanity cannot easily pronounce.

 

Rotus #3 (1984) with Toyota drive components is still in my possession and still for sale to some future lucky project dreamer.

 

I don't know what the production number on Old Yellow was (1990) but it is a different animal with the Mazda 13b motor and other goodie bits.

 

So, there you have it...a mini Rotus collection.

When are you picking it up? I bet the yellow one will have a totally different feel to it.

Glutton for punishment award?

Well the Yellow Rotus has 255 horsepower dynoed at the flywheel and 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds. Rotus #3 probably has half of the hp and double the 0 to 60 time!

 

I'd like to see the Yellow Rotus go up against Mazda's LS1 Rotus, with someone else but me driving it though!

I dont think Mazda has a Rotus anymore....it went to Seventh Heaven...and was reincarnated into something more evil

Mazda's car may in fact be the genesis of a whole new category of LSIS-the Motus!

so, who wants to pilot the yellow seven?

[Ruadhd2]

Nevermind. Just kidding. No way I want to be near Frankn7 when it launches. Don't want a challenge thread here. I retract.

That's no fun. I'm kidding :rofl:

Actually, I'd love to run it at the strip once to see what kind of numbers I get, but I've been told I can't run it without a full cage and scatter proof bellhousing.

Awwwww....come on.....I will drive the yellow peril for you. I will even put my own cash into it by betting Franken7 will win
