    Adler Trumpf 1932-1938

    In the 1930s, the company introduced front-wheel drive Trumpf and Trumpf-Junior models, ranging from 995 cc to 1645cc four-cylinder sv engines. These gained many successes in races, including in the Le Mans race.

    this car was on show during the 2008 Le Mans Classic. I don't know whether this is actually a replica, but probably not.

    The Adler Trumpf is a small family car introduced by the Frankfurt based auto-maker, Adler in March 1932, though Trumpf production only got under way in the late summer of that year. In a move reminiscent of British Leyland in the 1970s, Adler launched two similarly sized cars in the same year, one of which followed the then new trend set by DKW for front-wheel drive, and one respecting the conventional rear-wheel drive configuration still used by the market leader, Opel.

    The Trumpf was the second of these two smaller Adlers to enter volume production, at the end of the Summer in 1932, and was the front wheel drive offering. The innovative design was the responsibility of Hans Gustav Röhr (1895 – 1937). The Trumpf was distinguished from its more conservatively configured Primus sibling both by its front wheel drive and by its relatively advanced independent suspension.
