Note an Inline-6 is smoother than a V6 but a V12 is smoother than a Inline-6 because of more pistons however... is a mazda 13b or 20b smoother than them all... if not just let me know thx. Real answers plz

Rotor engine. Stand up and spin with your arms tight to your body. Smooth. Now do the same thing, but shadow box at the same time. Did you fall down...ha, ha.
Rotor smooth, unlimited power due to fuel and air intake. Piston engine has much torq. Piston engine good for pulling, power on low end, rotor engine, fast at high end, blah on low end.
O.K. we good now?

A 60 degree V6 is smoother than a 90 degree V6 because a piston is firing every 120 degrees. (the 90 degree V6 is an uneven fire motor) The in line 6 also fires every 120 degrees so should be the same.
The rotary is a very smooth motor because there is not as many parts reversing motion all the time. It also fires twice every engine rotation so should have power impulse similar to a 6.
If you really want to see how smooth they are, take the fan off. Really, really smooth and quiet.
I always liked the 12A motor better, It seemed to rev easier and seemed a little more responsive.
V12 should be very smooth because power impulse every 60 degrees. Not sure if as smooth as a rotary. The dealership I worked at also sold Jaguars with the V12 at that time. The cars were very different however. Sort of like comparing a greyhound with a St. Bernard.

Rotary engines have 3 main moving parts (2 rotor engines - most common), but the eccentric shaft still needs counterweights to balance out vibration (a huge half moon plate bolted to the shaft). A V12 has numerous moving parts. If you are looking for least amount of vibration, then the V12 balances itself out due to the perfect number of cylinders. A V12 crankshaft has no counterweights, so therefore mechanically, it has perfect balance and smoother operation. Plus V12's go into ultra luxury cars, so refinement is a must when it comes to engineering the perfect car that demands the perfect engine. On a mechanical point of view, if you have to attatch counterweights, it's not inherently balanced. Now, which one revs faster and has a higher redline? A rotary of course. I'm not certain on how well a 4 rotor engine cancels out vibrations, but that's a special purpose built engine anyway.

Since rotary engines only spin, they are very smooth. A Inline-6, V12, or any piston engine has to have pistons that go up and down in the cylinder and therefore cannot be as smooth because they are converting up and down motion in to rotational motion.

while in theory yes it should be smoother however in reality I can attest that no it isn't all that much less noticiable, it is also not quite so cut and dry as rotory

I guess ur construction a RX-7 from the floor up ain't you... I actually have a chum who had one. very advantageous vehicle, runs advantageous delicate, remeber circulate with the 20b and make confident u save her relatively cool.....it relatively is maximum needed, spend around 20-40 grand on the engin on my own and u would have something which will positioned any v12 in its place

A rotary feels like its running on double creme..
Smooth as silk! I would say its best simply due to design.
