Just over 2,400 NSU TTS's were built from 1967 to 1971, most used for rallying or racing. Developed from the Prinz and Type 110 with competition in mind, it took countless wins around the world. In road trim the TTS had twin Solex carburetors, front disc brakes, wider wheels, uprated suspension and a 100mph top speed. Four headlamps were exclusive to this car and its predecessor, the TT, the car that gave its name to Audi's new sports cars (the AUDI TT, TTS and recently the 2001 TT Roadster).
