1969 NSU K70 - a photo on Flickriver

1969 NSU K70

            Some of these pictures are available in lower resolution elsewhere, but figured I'd share them nonetheless.

German car maker NSU  intended to present the new NSU K70 in March 1969 at the Geneva Motor Show. At the last minute, the K70 was removed from the NSU show stand as new owners Volkswagen were undecided on what to do with the car.

The development of the NSU K70 had begun in 1964. Designed by NSU engineer Ewald Praxl and styled by Claus Luthe as a four-door sedan (and five-door wagon) it was intended to fill the gap between the rear-engined NSU 1000/1200 and the Ro80. K denotes the German word “Kolben” (piston) and 70 designates 70 PS (51 kW). The Ro80 name means “Rotationskolben” (rotary pistons) typ 80. The K70 had front wheel drive, strong road holding, a very roomy interior, and a large luggage compartment. The car also had, for that period, high standard safety features such as a fuel tank mounted directly ahead of the rear axle, and a steering column angled in order to reduce the risk of its being pushed too far back into the passenger cabin. 23 NSU K70's were produced.

These are from the 1969 Automobil Revue catalog, published at the time of the Geneva Motor Show. There is also an addenda stating that the car was withdrawn due to the VW purchase.
