Mazda's Renesis engine was the overwhelming choice in three classes it won: the overall award, Best New Engine and Best 2.5-liter to 3.0-liter engine. Shown here is one of its unique rotors within the combustion chamber.
i always thought the mazda rotary engine was 1.3 liters.

I believe the original mentions something about the conversion from the rotaries 1.3L to an equivalent. Basically, a rotary has a combustion event per crank rotation (actually 3 per rotor rotation but also 3 rotor rotations per crank rotation). So by that accounting, it is equivalent to 2x the displacement of a normal ICE cylinder which has 1 power stroke per 2 revs.
BTW, the award wasn't from MSN, but from some collection of international journalists(?).
