Rotary Engine
This is a rotary engine also known as a Wankel engine. This engine is really complicated. This Video will show you how it works. This engine was designed by a German engineer called Felix Wankel. His engines were installed in some race cars, go-karts, aircrafts, and house hold devices like lawn mover and chainsaws. Even though this type of engine was really small and make more power, it did not go on cars. Until Mazda bought his idea and put this type of engine in there cars. Specially in the RX-7.
After Mazda stopped making the RX-7, which was built to race with Porsches they made a new less powerful and slow car called RX-8. RX-8 has the same rotary engine as in the RX-7, but it is more comfortable, more nicer to look at and most of all it will beat all of the other cars that in this car's price range. All thanks to the almighty Rotary Engine.

Audi RS5
This is not a supercar or a hypercar... This is a four-seater, four-wheel drive, road going monster. Since this is a Audi, it understeers big time. But before you lead to any conclusions, let me tell you that this car's got a 4.2L 444HP V8. Audi made this to compete with BMW M3. And Did I tell you about the spoiler that automatically deploys when its going over 120kmph? I'm not done yet. After the oil is burnt and the gas usually travels through the exhaust pipe right? In couple minutes the exhaust pipe gets really hot right? Well in this car, every time you change a gear, it put a little drop of petrol in to the hot exhaust pipe. So that makes a really nice sound, every time you change gear. This all seems nice but the price will change everything. It is a expensive car. Lets see if you can guess the price... Its not $40,000. Its not $50,000. Its a stunning $110,000. But this money will get you to 280kmph but the BMW M3 is still the best running and lets admit, the best looking as well.
