The NSU Prinz is an automobile produced in West Germany by the NSU Motorenwerke AG. The car was built from 1957 to 1973, and received a model change in 1961 (the old model was continued until 1962).
The Sport Prinz was designed by Franco Scaglione at Bertone studios in Turin. Approximately 20,831 were manufactured between 1959 and 1967. The first 250 bodies were built by Bertone in Turin. The rest were built in Neckarsulm at a company called Drautz which was later bought by NSU. It was not much seen outside Germany.[citation needed] However, a spider (convertible) variant was the first production car in the world powered by a Wankel rotary.[citation needed]
First models had the 583 cc (35.6 cu in) Prinz 30 straight-2 engine but a maximum speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) was nevertheless claimed.
Later, the Sport Prinz acquired the 598 cc (36.5 cu in) engine of the Prinz 4.
