NSU Prinz 1000 TT

To be fair, I did not know of this vehicle until I saw it displayed at a car show about a month ago. It was also one of the most unusual cars at that specific car show and reminds me of a baby first-gen Chevy Corvair. Produced by one of the automakers that eventually merged to form Audi, the NSU Prinz 1000 TT specifically lasted from 1965 to 1967 with just over 14,000 examples made. Its rear-mounted engine is a 1.1-liter four-cylinder churning out less than 100 horsepower and mated to a four-speed manual. The 1000 TT is one of several NSU Prinz models manufactured between 1961 and 1972 and distinguished by a large black stripe connecting the headlights. Speaking of the headlights, those on the sporty Prinz TT models are dual, round, and positioned in the same frame compared to the standard Prinz models' massive, oval-shaped headlights. Later versions had bigger, more powerful motors and dropped the "Prinz" part of its name. Despite its low power numbers, the NSU Prinz 1000 TT is no slouch. It is a neat little car, considering I had never seen one in the flesh until relatively recently.
