yes it is the 1.3 rotary. the power is thanks to the complex twin turbo system which although has masses of vaccum tubing and is a nightmare to work on, is rather superb. rotary engines can last easily above 100000k if looked after properly. regular oil changes of around 3000miles help this. what you may be getting confused with is what the dvla have done to stop the loopole in the tax system. basically they change it to show it as 2.6, even though in piston terms the actual cc is 1.3. there are still some cars out there with the 1.3 log book, which means cheaper tax. and thankfully i have one!

no, no other engine size, they are top engines, but fragile due to size/power, my dad was a mechanic and said they had to be rebuilt every 30,000 miles to keep them on top form... 60k is when they say a rebuild is in need. Suppose dependant on servicing, way you use the car etc will change that mileage.
