I think the Wankel Engines would of had to have been licensed by NSU. They
were the ones who owned the rights that the old Mazdas were licensed from.
Mazda probably bought the rights to license others since though. When we had
the NSU franchise they had the Wankle Spyder and the RO80 Sedan in the
60-early 70's.

" The Wankel-equipped Ladas were quite a bit faster than the standard ones.
I imagine they were pretty scary. The engines apparently were not Mazda
engines, but were built under license from Wankel."
