NSU was absorbed into Auto Union that became Audi VW AG. Interesting cars theses were. The 1000 was rear engined and had design cues from the first generation Chevrolet Corvair. The Ro 80 had a Wankel rotary engine that until later years of production had reliability issues. By then it was reliable but the damage to the car's reputation was done.

Those NSUs are very cool. Here are 2 from 1968, when the real one was being sold... -pic
A Marklin and a Tekno (of course) 🙂
