The NSU 6/12 PS was a lower middle class passenger car that Neckarsulmer Fahrzeugwerke Aktiengesellschaft built from 1907 to 1909. It was the successor to the 6/10 PS

The water-cooled engine was a four-cylinder block engine with a displacement of 1540 cm³ (bore × stroke = 70 × 100 mm), which made 13 hp (9.6 kW) at 1500 rpm. This engine had a triple bearing crankshaft, magneto ignition , automatic central lubrication and upright valves in a T-cylinder head. The power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a multi-disc clutch in an oil bath, a three-speed gearbox with a right-hand gate shift and a cardan shaft . The wheelbase of the cars was now a uniform 2635 mm, their track width was unchanged at 1150 mm and the weight of the chassis was 600 kg. The top speed was around 60 km / h.

In 1910 the 6/14 hp replaced this model.
