Unfortunately these cars don't have enough "muscles" as compared to the "more traditional" gas-only cars.
Check out the concept Honda Dualnote [honda.com]. Hybrid, 400 HP, and 40mpg gas mileage. Sweet! Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like it will ever make it to production. [edmunds.com]

Of course four strokes only use half of their displacement per revolution where the rotary uses it's entire displacement every time around. So to be fair you either multiply the displacement of the rotary by 2 or divide the boinger (piston engine) by 2.
