1902 (the year
Edmund Rumpler became technical director),
[1] they used their own engines as well. These cars, driven by Erwin Kleyer and Otto Kleyer (sons of the company founder Heinrich Kleyer) and by Alfred Theves won many sporting events. In the 1920s, Karl Irion raced many Adlers; popular models of the period included the 2298 cc, 1550 cc, and 4700 cc four-cylinders and the 2580 cc six-cylinders. Many of the
Standard models, built between 1927 and 1934, featured Gropius and Neuss coachwork. These had 2916 cc six-cylinder engines and 3887 cc eight-cylinder engines. The Standard was the first European car to use hydraulic brakes, starting in 1926 when they were fitted with an ATE-Lockheed system. 1927 to 1929
Clärenore Stinnes was the first to circumnavigate the world by car, in an Adler Standard 6.

In December 1930, Adler assigned the German engineer
Josef Ganz, who was also editor-in-chief of
Motor-Kritik magazine, as a consultant engineer. In the first months of 1931, Ganz constructed a lightweight
Volkswagen prototype at Adler with a tubular chassis, a mid-mounted engine, and
independent wheel suspension with
swing-axles at the rear. After completion in
May 1931, Ganz nicknamed his new prototype
Maikäfer (
May Beetle). After a shift in management at Adler, further development of the Maikäfer was stopped as the company's new technical director Hans Gustav Röhr concentrated
on front-wheel driven cars.
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. The 1943 cc
Favorit, the 2916 cc six-cylinder
Diplomat (featuring 65
hp (48 kW) at 3800
rpm, and the 1910 cc four-cylinder and 2494 cc six-cylinder models (with
Ambi-Budd and
Karmann bodywork) were all
rear-driven; these were built until
World War II. The last new car introduced by Adler was the
2,5 Liter of 1937; it had a six-cylinder engine producing 58 hp (43 kW). Thanks to a streamlined body designed by
Paul Jaray, this car could run at 125 km/h (78 mph).
After
World War II, a decision was made to not resume automobile construction. Motorcycle production resumed in 1949 and continued for 8 years, leading to the production of the MB 250S. As part of the Allies war reparations, Adler motorcycle designs had been taken by
BSA in Britain and later used by the British company
Ariel to produce their 'Arrow' and 'Leader' models. Increasingly, Adler focused on the manufacture of office equipment. The company associated with
Triumph to form
Trumpf-Adler, and was taken over by
Grundig in 1957, then later by
Olivetti.
