This is an interesting thread. The death of the Wankel has been exaggerated before - it seems Audi is incorporating a very small Wankel as a range extender in a hybrid configuration. Would that little rotary be sweet humming along instead of the clatter-box Onan!

From Wikipedia:

A1 e-tron

The Audi A1 e-tron concept car is an electric variant of the A1, first shown at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. [ 25 ] The A1 e-tron is a series plug-in hybrid (PHEV), powered by an electric motor with a continuous output of 45 kW (61 PS; 60 bhp), and a peak output of 75 kW (102 PS; 101 bhp). A fully charged 12 kWh lithium-ion battery gives a maximum range of 50 kilometres (31 mi), after which a 254 cc Wankel engine is used to power a 15 kW (20 PS; 20 bhp) generator with a 12 L (2.6 imp gal; 3.2 US gal) fuel tank. [ 26 ] This is estimated to provide an additional range of 124 mi (200 km). [ 25 ]

A field testing programme of twenty A1 e-tron vehicles began in Munich in late 2010. [ 27 ]
