At the beginning of the 1960s, rear engines and air cooling were still considered progressive, and the Chevrolet Corvair or the VW Beetle were regarded as modern and contemporary vehicles. So it is hardly surprising that NSU also used this design for the NSU Prinz 4, aiming for low weight and good space economy. With the TT, the Prinz was joined by a sporty brother that caused a sensation in racing and on the road until the 1970s (and beyond).
From 1965 to 1972, NSU built the TT, first as the Prinz 1000 TT, later as the 1200 TT. Over 63,000 of these fast compact sports cars were produced and were tailor-made for people who commuted to the office during the week and wanted to take part in hill climbs or slalom races at the weekend. At least that was Herbert Völker's opinion in the test for Autorevue and he also gave a few practical tips. This article reproduces the original wording of the test report at the time and shows the car in historical photographs.
