NSU WANKEL SPIDER

2-seater roadster.

Built on a Sport Prinz platform with the trailing-wishbone rear springing of the four-cylinder cars. Front disc brakes standard and necessary with 95mph on tap. A memorable experience when it first came out, but nobody understood the Wankel's ways then, and you'll be lucky to find a sound engine. Production begins mid-'64.
