Thomas, I don't remember where I read this, but I recall reading that the
Japanese had trouble pronouncing "rotary turbo" and so they decided to
refer to the turbo-charged models as the REW. Yeah, sounds goofy, but
it makes about as much sense as anything else I've heard.

But what does REW stand for? (The R, the E, the W??)
Hi Thomas,
Here's a page with more abbreviations than you can stand-

You'll note that it still doesn't say what REW stands for. It has
to be
Rotary Engine W????
