A good example might be the Mazda RX8, where the Wankel theme is visible also in the interior.
I also think that things like emissions, weight, size and costs of the engine (etc) and the whole doability should be considered. Not just plain max power.
One question; are you thinking of using an existing engine (which more or less eliminates the issues with recyclability for one) or designing one from scratch, as I understood in one of the other threads?
