	NSU Motorenwerke AG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NSU began as a knitting machine manufacturer, established in the town of Neckarsulm in 1884 as the Neckarsulmer Strickmaschinenfabrik (Neckarsulm Knitting Machine Factory).
		NSU is primarily remembered today as the first licensee, and one of only three automobile companies, to produce cars for sale with Wankel engines.
		The NSU Ro 80 was the second mass-produced two-rotor Wankel-powered vehicle, though it was known for its poor reliability.

		The Ro 80 was the car for which the slogan `Vorsprong durch Technik' was coined.
		NSU's aerodynamic body, with a Cd of 0.35, was so far ahead of its time that it was surely a template, not for the first Audi 100, but for the third generation introduced 15 years after the Ro 80.
		The Ro 80 had 284 mm inboard disc brakes at the front and 272 mm discs at the rear, with dual-circuit hydraulics and separate drums for the handbrake.

		NSU had moved on to produce small cars like the Prinz (the TT and TTS versions are still popular as vintage race cars), but then focussed on new rotary engines according to the ideas of Felix Wankel.
		In 1967, the new NSU Ro 80 was a space age car well ahead of its time in technical details like aerodynamics, light weigth, safety etc., but teething problems with the rotary engines put an end to the independency of NSU.
		In 1986, as the Audi 80 was beginning to develop a kind of "grandfather's car" image, the type 89 was introduced.

		NSU was very astute in requiring license holders to share research results with all others (although GM obtained an exemption).

		The NSU caused a major sensation, but was unable to help the Wankel principle make the breakthrough hoped for.

		The design of the Ro 80 was made possible by the Wankel engine which required considerably fewer components than conventional reciprocating engines and was notable for its lightweight drive line, smaller space requirements and smooth running.
		Nonetheless, the NSU Ro 80 made an unforgettable mark in the car scene, thanks to its unique design and unconventional driveline.
		And the 5-cylinder engine with exhaust-gas turbocharger and an output of 170 bhp, which was installed in the new Audi 200 in 1979, created the basis for the Audi motor sport successes in the years to follow.

	VW K70 - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		The Volkswagen K70 (pronounced "ka siebzig") is a sedan automobile produced by both NSU and Volkswagen from 1969 to 1974.
		The K70 was originally developed by NSU as a smaller brother to the more famous Ro 80, the main difference being that the K70 used a conventional piston engine instead of the Ro80's more complicated Wankel rotary engine.
		In 1969, just as the car was about to be launched, NSU was taken over by Volkswagen, who integrated the Neckarsulm company with Auto-Union/Audi which it had acquired in 1964.

		In 1966 the Audi 80 and the Audi Super 90 appeared in the same guise.
		The company name, which was unusually long and difficult to remember, became a matter of debate at the beginning of the 1980s; this was due to the fact that NSU ceased to be used as a product name after the NSU RO 80 went out of production in 1977.
		Since then the primary tasks of these two entities has been the upholding of the company's tradition, the creation of a collection of historic vehicles and the collation of archive material relevant to the history of the company.

		So I bought the car, washed and polished it a lot (becouse the paint was very weathered) and had some work with the rusty wheel arches, the dampers and the A-post.
		So I had my second Capri Mk II and I was quite happy with him, becouse it guzzled only half of the juice my Ro 80 consumed.
