No, they don't build these van Veen Wankel any more... but .... a guy named Hartel is working on a modern time equivalent: a two rotor 588 cc sportsbike, single sided front and rear suspension, fusee steering, automatic (Suzuki Burgman) transmission. Can't find any pictures on the internet.... but read an article recently in a motormagazine.

This guy used to be mechanic/engineer for Van Doorne Transmissions (CV gearboxes), GP500 and Formule 1 teams (think it was Williams). Seems that Williams experimented with automatic (CV) gearboxes on a formule one car: lap times went down with seconds ... but this was a while ago (10 - 15 years) when electronic systems like traction control weren't that well developed as nowadays. Tests were that succesfull that CV gearboxes were banned.

Found this in Wikipedia:
1993 A Williams Formula 1 car was not allowed to race, because it had the Van Doorne's CVT drive. If that car had raced, it would have been more than a full second per lap faster than the competition. As Williams was the leading team already at the time, the F1 management decided to forbid the technology.
