The NSU 6/8 PS was a small delivery van that Neckarsulmer Fahrzeugwerke Aktiengesellschaft built in 1906 as an alternative to the Sulmobil .

This first own four-wheel car had the standing single-cylinder engine of the Sulmobil with a displacement of 451 cm³ (bore × stroke = 82 × 86 mm), which - provided with a water cooling - made 8 HP (5.9 kW). The engine had automatic pump lubrication and high-voltage magneto ignition . The power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a leather cone clutch, a three-speed gearbox to be shifted on a coulisse on the right outside, and a cardan shaft . The wheelbase was 2000 mm, the track width 1150 mm and the length of the vehicle 2700 mm. The weight was included. 650 kg, the maximum speed at 40 km / h.

Just like the Sulmobil, the RM 4500, - expensive vehicle, which could carry a load of 350 kg, was not particularly popular because its possible uses were limited. It disappeared from the market in the year it was published.
