The NSU 5/11 PS was a small car that Neckarsulmer Fahrzeugwerke Aktiengesellschaft built between 1911 and 1913.

The 5/11 PS was the successor to the 5/10 PS small car . Two versions, with two or four cylinder engines , were produced in parallel.

The two-cylinder model had a block engine with a displacement of 1105 cm³ (bore × stroke = 75 × 125 mm), which made 11 hp (8.1 kW) at 1400 rpm. 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 was 2300 mm, the track width 1150 mm and the length of the vehicle 3300 mm. The weight of the chassis was included. 565 kg, the top speed was 55 km / h.

The four-cylinder model had a block engine with a displacement of 1132 cm³ (bore × stroke = 60 × 100 mm), which also made 11 hp (8.1 kW), but at 1600 rpm. The other drive data corresponded to those of the two-cylinder model. At 2125 mm, the wheelbase of the four-cylinder model was significantly shorter than that of the two-cylinder model. Accordingly, its length was also shorter at 3100 mm, but its weight (chassis) was slightly higher at 585 kg. For the other data, both models again corresponded.

Both vehicles were available as Phaeton, double phaeton or delivery van.

In 1913 the 5/12 PS , which was only available with a four-cylinder engine, replaced these models.
