Audi NSU RO 80 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1967–1977) — First Generation
The first-generation Audi NSU RO 80 is a four-door sedan built around an unusually forward-looking idea of what a family car could be, from its aerodynamic shape to its front-driven layout.
The Audi NSU RO 80 engine range is represented here by the 1.0 MT, a gasoline sedan with a manual gearbox and front-wheel drive. That small displacement figure reflects how rotary chamber volume is measured, so expect smoothness and free revving rather than low-speed muscle. Front drive keeps the drivetrain compact and traction predictable.
