Although the concept of a 6-rotor rotary engine has never been widely used in commercial production, it is often discussed in the context of high-performance or experimental vehicles. The idea of a 6-rotor rotary engine is to take the advantages of the Wankel engine to a higher level, but it also presents significant challenges due to the complexity of the design.
Features of the 6-Rotor Engine:
- More Power and Efficiency:
- The 6-rotor engine would be an even more powerful version of the rotary engine. With more rotors, the engine could generate more energy per combustion cycle, resulting in a significant increase in power.
- Additionally, a higher number of rotors could improve thermal and mechanical efficiency, as the workload would be more evenly distributed among the rotors.
- Design and Production Challenges:
- Adding more rotors increases the complexity of the design and manufacturing. This can lead to additional technical challenges in ensuring that the engine is reliable and durable, as more moving parts need to be precisely maintained.
- Like the 5-rotor engine, the 6-rotor engine would also require strict control over thermal and pressure conditions in the combustion chamber.
- Potential Use in Vehicles:
- A 6-rotor engine would be highly desirable for high-performance vehicles, such as supercars and race cars, where power, smoothness, and compact design are crucial.
- However, due to its complexity, a 6-rotor engine would likely be better suited for experimental projects or prototypes rather than mass production.
- Higher Performance in Terms of Power and Smoothness:
- With the addition of more rotors, the engine would be even smoother, with less vibration and more efficiency, which is one of the main advantages of rotary engines. This would be ideal in situations where smoothness and power delivery are priorities, such as in high-level competitions or luxury cars.

- Mazda and the 6-Rotor Engine: Mazda is one of the manufacturers most associated with the rotary engine, and although the company has explored various versions of Wankel engines, including the famous 4-rotor engine in the RX-7 and RX-8, the concept of a 6-rotor engine would be an extension of the Wankel design. Mazda has even explored the idea of rotary engines in hybrid or electric models, which could open new opportunities for the 6-rotor engine.
- High-Performance Vehicles and Prototyping: A 6-rotor engine could be found in high-performance vehicles, where every detail counts to maximize performance. However, the use of such a complex engine is more viable in prototype cars or race vehicles, where technical specifications are more flexible, and the focus is purely on performance.
