History

Adler entered Trumpf Rennlimousine saloons at the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1936 (the race was cancelled), then in 1937 and 1938. In 1937 car #167673 finished sixth overall and first in the 2-litre class, with a second works car ninth; in 1938 one car was sixth and the 1.5-litre car #168302 seventh and first in its class. Adler also entered Rennlimousines at Vila Real in 1936, where one finished third, and at Spa in 1938.

The archive lists 1.5 to 1.7 litre four-cylinder engines in these cars. The Trumpf itself was Adler's front-wheel-drive car of 1932, designed by Hans-Gustav Rohr.
