The piece explains Wankel rotors deliver torque directly and lack a piston-based reversal, but seal durability remains a challenge. Toyo Kogyo cites aluminum impregnated carbon seals with 60 000 to 100 000 mile life. It predicts diverse future powertrains with gas turbines and electric cars emerging alongside any rotary adoption.
