First production car with a Rotary.

Its single rotor 498cc watercooled engine was in the back, where it belongs. It was mated with a 4 speed manual transmission.

The car weighed 700kg, and had 50bhp (54in the later version).
It’s a nice little roadster and I can only imagine it’s a fun slow car to drive fast.

I saw a Ro80 a few days ago in a car park.

These NSUs are wonderful cars, very ahead of their time.
