Description
The NSU Spider is an automobile which was produced by NSU Motorenwerke AG from 1963 to 1967.
The Spider was the first Western production car in the world to be powered by a Wankel rotary engine. The water-cooled single rotor engine and standard front disc brakes differentiated the car from other cars of similar type of the period. The body was designed by Bertone.
The NSU Spider is the first series production car powered by a Wankel rotary engine. In the Spider, a KKM 502 single-rotor engine with a single spark plug was used; it displaces 996 cm3 (61 in3) from a generating radius of 100 mm, a width of 67 mm, an eccentricity of 14 mm and an equidistant of 2 mm. Compression is 8. 5, and the fuel required is petrol with an octane rating of 91 RON. The Spider's engine had "teething troubles", but is a compact, smoothly running engine with a decent power output. Rated power was initially 50 bhp (37 kW) at 5, 500 rpm. In later models, rated power was 40 kW (54 hp) at 6, 000 rpm. Maximum torque output is 79 N?m (58 lbf?ft) at 3, 500/ min.
This car is a beautiful NSU Spider, white with a red black upholstery. The paint is still very good and the engine runs nicely. It also shifts well, steers well and brakes properly. It is a special NSU with a very special Wankel engine.
