In 1963, NSU produced the first series-production Wankel engine for a car, the KKM 502 (see Figure 6.). It was used in the NSU Spider sports car, of which about 2,000 were made. Despite its "teething troubles", the KKM 502 was a powerful engine with decent potential, smooth operation, and low noise emissions at high engine speeds.
It possessed 125 hp (93 kW), powering the car to a top speed of 106 mph (171 km/h) and a 0-60 time of 13.8 sec, with fuel economy of 8.5 km/L (24 mpg ‑imp; 20 mpg ‑US) [62] This lightweight engine, used in all full-size 1982 Cadillacs (except limousines) was a wet-sleeve design that mated cast-iron heads to an aluminum block.
