Better driving on NSU cartoons by Rudolf Griffel

NSU vehicles are known and loved for their unique designs. Behind the designs is Rudolf Griffel, caricaturist and graphic designer. His distinctive line has characterised the development of NSU cars, motorbikes, mopeds and bicycles. Even today, the NSU Quickly, one of the first mopeds of the post-war period, the popular NSU Max motorbike and the vintage NSU Prinz car still make the hearts of car fans beat faster.

NSU: motorbike, car, bicycle and passion

Heiko Rossnagel is a self-confessed NSU enthusiast and fan. He set out in search of the man behind the NSU models and found an overwhelming archive. In keeping with his surname, Rudolf Griffel loved drawing and began drawing his first caricatures at an early age. This eventually led him to study graphic design and work for NSU. His widow Lydia has honoured her husband's works and is giving you an insight into Rudolf Griffel's entire oeuvre for the first time:

• unretouched prints, some with annotations by the artist
• Divided into the chapters Zweirad, Automobil and Kunterbunt
• Illustrated book not only for NSU classic car enthusiasts, car fans and nostalgics
• Captures the zeitgeist of the 50s and 60s
• Published in the esteemed Edition Audi Tradition series

Get on your NSU bike, start your NSU moped or car and off you go to the time of the German motorisation miracle!
