The Mazda RX-4 originally came from the factory with a two-rotor Wankel engine said to be good for around 130 horsepower. This RX-4, however, is about as far away as one can get from the factory version, packing six rotors underneath its hood.
What do all those extra rotors do? Make noise, apparently (headphones users beware).

Heh. When I saw the engine I thought "they're either in NZ or in Puerto Rico".

There are a couple more 6 rotors in the world now.

All that dust being sucked back into the open inlets during the dyno pull... sigh.
