The NSU 5/12 PS was a small car that Neckarsulmer Fahrzeugwerke Aktiengesellschaft built in 1913 and 1914.

The 5/12 PS was the successor to the 5/11 PS small car .

The engine was a four-cylinder block engine with a displacement of 1132 cm³ (bore × stroke = 60 × 100 mm), which made 12 hp (8.8 kW) at 1600 / min. The engine already had pressure lubrication and magneto ignition . The power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a leather cone clutch, a three-speed gearbox that was shifted on an external backdrop and a cardan shaft . The wheelbase of the two-seater was 2210 mm and its track width was 1150 mm. The other superstructures were mounted on chassis with a 2400 mm wheelbase. The weight of the chassis was included. 550 kg, the top speed was 55 km / h.

The 5/12 PS was available as an open touring car with two or three seats, a double phaeton or a delivery van. The rectangular radiator was replaced by an oval radiator that better suited the new torpedo shape of the car.

As early as 1914, shortly before the start of the First World War , the 5/15 hp with a new engine replaced this model.
