Adler Primus Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1937–1938) — Third Generation
The third-generation Adler Primus is a compact pre-war German saloon, offered here in Limousine form. It favours straightforward mechanics and modest running costs over outright speed, which shapes how the car feels on the road.
The Adler Primus engine in the 1.7 MT Limousine is a gasoline unit paired with a manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. That classic drivetrain layout rewards relaxed, torque-led progress: shift early, let the powertrain pull from low revs, and the transmission stays unstressed.
