Classic Cars: NSU Ro 80
This Car is a bit unusual for a number of reasons. The NSU Ro 80 was built from 1967 through 1977 in a single generation and it's coach work would not be out of place for Cars of a more recent vintage. Also uncommon for Cars of the 60's, it has 4 wheel independent suspension with McPherson Struts up front, trailing arms in the rear, rack and pinion steering and front wheel drive. This combination of features only became a standard in the 80's. That's not where the unusual way of thinking ended, it was also equipped with a 3 speed semi automatic transmission that lacked a clutch but retained the familiar H pattern shift gate. To top of the list of unusual items is the Engine, which was a twin rotor Wankel or rotary motor. Unfortunately the engine had a metallurgical issue with it's rotor seals that ruined the companies reputation before they fixed it a year later.
NSU was bought by VW and was merged with Auto Union to form Audi.
Hola amigo @onnovocks, el carro se ve muy conservado, parece que lo usan un poco, cuidate cariños y besos.
Hola @celinavisaez, creo que es posible este carro fue reparado porque los paneles del cuerpo (capó y nariz) no se alinean como deberían y la puerta del conductor es de un color ligeramente diferente. Abrazos!
No fui un accidente fuerte, pero sufficiente.
El color de la puerta lo note, lo del capo no, eres bien detallista, cariños y besos.
So, the Audi was once unusual. With arms and racks and I think you wrote that it strutted too.... And to think I might have walked passed that Car, unimpressed by its colour and Wankly bits, thinking it was just another ... well upon closer inspection, indeed, I dunno what... but not a rare NSU, which must stand for Now for Something Unusual. I don't think I'd get the most out of living in Hengelo.
Sir Winston Churchill's Cigar remains elusive, I found this NSU in Boekelo about 5 miles dead south of Hengelo. I like the rewriting of the story; that it was strutting down the street and wankling the rack and pinion with its arms and such. I almost walked past this one myself, except I had never seen one in person before so it was the "what the hell is that" that drew my attention away from a Motorcycle with sidecar.
