231bhp@8200 from 1.3ltrs = 21.67
Yes it does, but you have the displacement wrong. Rotary engines have been mislabled displacement wise. You can't count just one of the pockets, as the rotor has 3 sides. 1.3X3= 3.9.

231 / (8.2x3.9)= 7.2

Hrm. Well, I guess it doesn't apply to Rotaries.... but...eh... anyway, the displacement isn't 1.3 liters.
