The Company '''Comotor SA''' was a joint venture between [[NSU Motorenwerke AG|NSU]] and [[Citroën]], created in [[Luxembourg]] in April [[1967]]. Its goal was to produce [[Wankel engine
It followed an earlier, 1964 joint venture of both companies, the Geneva-based '''Comobil''' subsidiary, focusing on the development of the engines. Comotor engines were used by the [[NSU Ro 80]], [[Citroën M35]] and by the [[Citroën GS#GS Birotor|GS Birotor]].
The venture was hamstrung by technical, reliability, and fuel consumption issues. Although Citroën took a slow and calculated development path, including a two-year 'beta-program' in which 267 [[Citroën M35]] prototypes were tested exhaustively by selected customers, rising gas prices in 1973 nullified market demand for the fuel-thirsty engine. The vast sums that where invested in the '''Comobil''' and '''Comotor''' joint ventures were major contributors to the bankruptcy of both NSU and [[Citroën]].
