The NSU 9/18 PS was a middle class passenger car that Neckarsulmer Fahrzeugwerke Aktiengesellschaft built in 1910 and 1911. It was the successor to the 8/15 hp model .

The water-cooled engine was a four-cylinder block engine with a displacement of 2208 cm³ (bore × stroke = 75 × 125 mm), which made 18 hp (13.2 kW) at 1400 rpm. This engine had a triple-bearing crankshaft, magneto ignition , automatic central lubrication and upright valves in an L-cylinder head. The 50 liter fuel tank was in the back. The fuel was pumped forward into the carburetor through the exhaust gases. The engine power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a multi-disc clutch in an oil bath, a three-speed gearbox with a link shift on the right and a cardan shaft . The wheelbase of the cars had grown by 15 mm to 2650 mm, their track width by 150 mm to 1300 mm and the weight of the chassis to 720 kg. The top speed was around 60 km / h.

In 1911 the 9/22 PS replaced this model.
