Built by Pininfarina to a GM design, the XP-897GT "Two-Rotor Car" appeared in1973 as a showcase for GM's then-imminent Wankel-type rotary engine. Like the original XP-882, it was widely believed to be a precursor of the next generation Corvette.

Interesting find Joey.
A rotary in 1973...?
Did you know that the rotary engine was designed orignally to be a supercharger, or something like that?
Great Find.
