In exchange for telling me what these are, I'll award you one shiny new point!

Chevrolet experimental Rotary engines?

The unit they were developing for the Vega in the early 70's.

No, not the GM Wankel motors.

Of course they are NSU R080 Wankels.

I have never seen the US version with the smog pump fitted, which is what made me think GM Vega..........
