The only model was a small car. A single - cylinder four-stroke engine with 3.5 or 4.5 HP power provided the drive . The engine weighed only 45 kg. A special feature was the air cooling of the motor by means of two fans , which on the one hand supplied cooling air and on the other hand sucked out hot air. Kainz, together with Graf Gustav Pötting-Persing and Adolf Schmal, held the patent number 1942 from the Austrian Patent Office for this cooling . The engine was mounted at the front under a bonnet and drove the rear axle via a spur gear.
