The rather dumpy NSU Prinz saloon led to the much prettier, Bertone-designed NSU Sport Prinz coupe, which in return gave rise to the gorgeous little Spider convertible of 1964 to 1967. The Spider is credited with being the first production car to be fitted with a rotary engine designed by Felix Wankel (1902-1988). If fitted with a megaphone exhaust, which rotary engines respond well to, a competition-prepared Spider is rather like an innocent-looking puppy with a bark like machine-gun fire.
