Description
(XRK) 2+2 rotary powered sports car built on the XR platform
Intended to compete with the XRG.
1 year into the production of the XR GT the 12R-GT rotary motor was complete. The engine is a 1.2L two-rotor design developed for motorsport and use in their upcoming sports cars. Due to the high development costs, production costs and time required to develop a new sports car from the ground up, it was decided that the XR platform would be utilised as the foundation for their new entry-level sports car. This decision allowed them to expedite the process of introducing a new sports car to the market.
The 12R-GT rotary engine, with its compact size and lightweight construction, was an ideal powerplant for the sports car. Its innovative rotary design provided a higher power-to-weight ratio and smooth power delivery, making it well-suited for use both on the track and the open road. Due to the reduced engine weight and facelift up front, the XR-based car now provides a weight distribution of a near 50:50 front to rear in contrast to its sister car's 52:48.
The XR Keichi would find itself filling the void for an affordable sports car for the company besides the XR GT which was criticised for lacklustre handling characteristics when compared to its competitors. However, the Keichi would be overshadowed by other rotary-powered sports cars in both performance and sales figures and was discontinued after 5 years of production with only 12,000 units produced.
