There were prettier, faster, more glamourous, more hyped, and more revered small coupes from that era (mid 60s)—but i would argue none of them were as COOL as the NSU TTS. rear-engined. rear-wheel drive. and definitely the most aggressive looking of them all. Eat your heart out, italians!

Over the past several months, i’ve really started loving these NSU Prinz/TT/TT-S models. I have seen a couple of these in the past in person and always get the feeling that these cars must be an absolute BLAST to drive around in. Lightweight, rear-engined, tossable, stiff, and epic 60s cool. These are so rare in the US, however they enjoy an enthusiastic following in Germany. I would love to have a go in one…
Thanks to Marco for sending me these pics, and you can see the full album of photos from this AutoX NSU event HERE
The more time that passes by, the fonder i become of the stubby little badass that is the NSU TT.
