The engine bay had originally been designed to take the four-stroke air-cooled two-cylinder engine from the NSU Prinz. The rotary unit was much more compact permitting a shallow luggage locker fitted above it. This compensated for a reduction in luggage space at the front of the car because of the front mounting of the cooling radiator.

The NSU Spider is an automobile which was produced by NSU Motorenwerke AG from 1963 to 1967.[1]

The Spider was the first Western production car in the world to be powered by a Wankel rotary engine.[2] 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.[3]
