That's 2x the weight!
People praise RX-cars for its handling dynamics. That's due in large part to the small light weight rotary engine. A heavy V8 will impact overall handling in a significant way...negatively. It's like strapping Dwayne Johnson on the hood of your car.

Rotary may come back as a range extender in future Hybrids.
Yeah I could pick up my 13b-rew, no way I can pickup a LS....
