The car was available from the factory as a four-door touring car, four-door sedan, three or four-seater convertible A, B, C and D (with two or four doors), Kübelwagen (for the Wehrmacht ) or a bare chassis. Its side-controlled six-cylinder in-line engine with a displacement of 2867 cm³ develops 60 hp (44 kW) and accelerates the vehicle to 108 km / h. A four-speed gearbox (with overdrive 1: 0.73) drives the rear wheels, which are attached to a pendulum axle and suspended from coil springs. The front axle has a transverse leaf spring and additional coil springs. The trolley is equipped with hydraulic brakes for all four wheels.
