Are the Mazda rx8 interference engines?

The Mazda RX-8 is equipped with a Wankel rotary engine, which is a unique design that does not fall into the traditional categories of interference or non-interference engines commonly associated with piston engines. In a rotary engine, the design allows for the rotor to move without the risk of contact with other components in a way that would cause interference. Therefore, if a rotary engine fails, it generally does not lead to the catastrophic engine damage typical of interference piston engines.
