Rotary engine advantage in torque? This is nonsense.
The Wankel's design limits the eccentricity of the crank shaft which consequently limits torque to relatively low levels compared to a contemporary piston engine of similar fuel consumption. There is no torque advantage to a Wankel, it's at a disadvantage.
