NSU RO 80
The NSU Ro 80 was a four-door sedan in the upper mid-range segment from NSU that was on the market between 1967 and 1977. The car featured aerodynamic bodywork that was ahead of its time and was named Car of the Year 1968. Additionally, the Ro 80 had a Wankel engine, which was unusual. The NSU Spider was the first to receive such an engine in 1963. A total of 37.374 units were produced during the ten-year production run. At the Wald-und-Schlosshotel in Friedrichsruhe, 30 km east of Neckarsulm, Messrs. Praxl (project manager), Froede (research), Sussner (production), and Strobel (construction) met to define the lines of the new car. It was intended to be a sporty mid-range vehicle with a front-mounted twin-rotor Wankel engine and rear-wheel drive. Furthermore, it features a hydraulic gearbox with limited-slip differential, air suspension, and disc brakes. This NSU is finished in Kupfer-Metallic L95 F with beige Pullman upholstery. The car comes from Germany and is virtually unrestored.

This NSU is finished in Kupfer-Metallic L95 F with beige Pullman upholstery. The car comes from Germany and is virtually unrestored. The rotary engine runs beautifully and drives well. Furthermore, it was a top-class car that still has an above-average reputation. It brakes, steers, and shifts semi-automatically very well. For someone looking for a special car.
