By 1969, the rot had set in & NSU fell into the waiting arms of Audi. Via Audi, the VW group allowed further development of the engine & there was talk of a 3 rotor powered Audi-100 for 1977. History shows us they went for the 5-cyl engine instead.

Ah yes....I love that little fact. I drive an Audi 90 with the 5cyl as the DD and have the GSL-SE in the garage. KNOW YOUR ROOOTS!

Here's a pic:

What I want to know is why I can't have a NSU in my nopistons.com garage? On that note - there's definitely more NSU's here than rotary Mazdas

. I've only ever seen one Rx7 in Ireland, but have seen a handful of NSU's, and the only rotary I have ever been in was one my friends grandparents had.

EDIT: The Rx7 I saw wasn't even Irish!
