The “okay so how am I meant to deal with this?” situation. Named after the rotary Mazda RX-3 in Top Trumps that doesn't seem to be comparable in any meaningful way with the other engine categories.

Dealer: (Triumphantly slapping down a Rover 3500 Van den Plas) Cylinders: V-EIGHT! BEAT THAT, SUCKER!!!

“Wankel” is also a super near-double entendre. The design was conceived by German engineer Felix Wankel who, being German, almost certainly, sadly, pronounced his name “Vankel”, but that has not stopped generations of British schoolboys tittering well into their fifties, if I’m honest.
