This is the only rotary-powered Mustang ever built.
The engine installed in that Mustang is a Curtiss-Wright-designed Twin-Rotor RC2-60 rotary, displacing a mere 240 cubic inches and developing 185 horsepower at 5,000 rpm. It weighs only 237 pounds, yet its compact 18.5-inch length made it ideal for small cars; it stands at just 21.5 inches tall. Smaller than a 289 Ford small-block V-8, it fits in the Mustang’s engine compartment with plenty of room to spare.
