Guten Tag! :D

One of the parents of what is now the modern Audi company, NSU once had the distinction of being a major innovator in the world of motoring thanks to its ability to push forward huge technological leaps regardless of the price, its most distinct claim to fame being the provision of the famous Wankel rotary engine to the massmarket, and highly advanced cars like the NSU Ro80 that was driven by it.

Sadly, the NSU firm, like so many cutting edge innovators, was burdened with the inescapable problem of encountering undiscovered issues that inevitably cost a fortune in warranty claims, to which the NSU firm would behave like gentlemen in addressing, but in so doing would also bring about the end of the company's independence.
