Yes, if you got twice the torque at the same old rpm - I suspect the rpm on the 16X will be less than previous rotaries - but just a guess.  In any case, it will clearly produce more HP than current stock models at our rpms.

Mazda claims that the 16X will have double the torque (at all rpm) and better fuel economy at high engine speeds.  The Renesis claimed a 20% fuel improvement - but it appeared that was to be found at lower rpm than we operate at.  So hopefully the 16X will be kinder at our rpm range.
 
 
Would not "twice" the torque mean twice the HP?
 
Torque X RPM /5252 = HP
