That looks like a "transration" error. The car will have a 2-rotor 1308
cc
engine. I've not seen anything about a front wheel drive car, the rotary is not
conducive to FWD applications due to the output shaft being in the center of the
engine among other things.
To rectify the lack of LBC content, Zappa would have written a song
about
running over cats with one of these. But he wouldn't have used DOT5 to do it. Or
it might have been about riding to Chicago on it.
