NSU Ro 80 KKM 871 Experimental Car - 1976
This exhibited Ro 80 in Racing Yellow is a test vehicle, in which a new generation of advanced Wankel rotary engine was trialled. The dual-injector engine develops 170 PS, powering the low-drag saloon to a top speed of 220 km/H. The standard chassis coped well with the extra power output ; the trial models were simply equipped with an anti-roll bar on the rear axle and wider wheels and tyre combinations. All further development work on Wankel engines ceased in Neckarsulm in 1978.
