Then you might appreciate this NSU Ro 80, built 1967-1977 with a Wankel Rotary engine. Voted European Car of the Year.

This preceded Mazda’s use of the Wankel, if I recall correctly.

NSU of course was absorbed into Audi, but was a separate company at the time of this car.

looks a little Peugeot and a little Studebaker Avanti in the rear

the Wankel is still a great concept
