Adler 2-litre: which version to buy
There is only one factory version of the Adler 2-litre in this catalogue: 2.0 MT. It is a Cabrio, built from 1938-01-01 to 1940-12-31, with 44 hp (33 kW) from a 1910 cm³ Gasoline engine, Inline 4, Front, longitudinal, Carburetor, Manual 4, FWD, and a measured top speed of 110 km/h. Acceleration to 100 km/h, fuel use, weights, tank, wheels, and ground clearance are not measured.

Adler 2 litre specs: the only generation on the sheet
The Adler 2-litre has 1 generation. Generation 1 generation (kluch 6439) ran 1938-01-01 to 1940-12-31. Body type is Cabrio. Modification count is 1. Restyling is not listed as a separate generation, so a buyer does not have to pick between a pre-facelift and a post-facelift plate of the same name.
That single generation is the entire shopping list. You are not choosing 1938 versus 1940 as different catalogue versions: both years sit on the same 2.0 MT line, with the same start and stop dates as the generation itself (1938-01-01–1940-12-31). Arithmetic on the given dates: production window is three calendar years (1938, 1939, 1940), not three separate models.
Engine: 2.0 MT power, displacement, and layout
Version name in the database (use this exact string): 2.0 MT.
| Version | hp | kW | Nm | Displacement (cm³) | Fuel | Cylinders | Cylinder layout | Boost | Engine position | Feed | Gearbox | Gears | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0 MT | 44 | 33 | not measured | 1910 | Gasoline | 4 | Inline | not measured | Front, longitudinal | Carburetor | Manual | 4 | FWD |
Power per litre for 2.0 MT, using only catalogue numbers: 44 hp ÷ (1910 ÷ 1000) = 23.04 hp per litre. In kW: 33 kW ÷ 1.910 L = 17.28 kW per litre. Peak power rpm is not measured, so this specific output is a peak-power figure, not a rpm-specific one.
Torque is not measured. You cannot compute Nm per litre, and you cannot rank 2.0 MT against a “torquier” Adler 2-litre because no second torque figure exists. Compression ratio, bore × stroke, valves per cylinder, and boost are not measured. Do not fill those blanks from memory: the sheet does not state a supercharger, and it does not state naturally aspirated either.
Fuel type on the engine row is Gasoline. The separate “fuel” field is not measured. Feed is Carburetor. Cylinders: 4. Layout: Inline. Position: Front, longitudinal. Drive: FWD. Gearbox: Manual, 4 gears.
If you were hoping a later Adler 2-litre generation added automatic, extra gears, or a second driven axle, this catalogue does not list that change. Generation count is 1; modification count is 1. The extra money in this range does not buy a second factory powertrain. It can only buy a different example of 2.0 MT.
Performance and mpg: what is measured on 2.0 MT
0–100 km/h: not measured for 2.0 MT. A buyer’s guide cannot claim a sprint time.
Top speed: 110 km/h for 2.0 MT. That is the only performance number on the sheet. There is no faster Adler 2-litre version to compare: 110 − 110 = 0 km/h difference, because there is no second row.
Fuel consumption (city / highway / mixed): not measured. mpg is not measured. CO2: not measured. Eco class: not measured. Tank volume: not measured. You cannot calculate range (km of tank × L/100 km) because both inputs are missing.
What the numbers do allow: 2.0 MT is specified as a 110 km/h Cabrio with 44 hp from 1910 cm³. Specific output is 23.04 hp/L as above. Without kerb weight, power-to-weight (kg per hp) is not measured. Without 0–100, you cannot convert 44 hp into a time.
Reliability and “problems” as failure rates are not in the data. The mechanical description that is in the data for a buyer: Gasoline, Carburetor, Manual 4, FWD, Front, longitudinal, Inline 4. Those are the systems you inspect on 2.0 MT, not a second, simpler or more complex factory option.
Dimensions and weight
For 2.0 MT:
- Kerb weight: not measured
- Gross weight: not measured
- Ground clearance: not measured
- Fuel tank: not measured
- Wheels: not measured
- Front suspension: not measured
- Rear suspension: not measured
- Front brakes: not measured
- Rear brakes: not measured
Payload (gross − kerb) is not measured: both terms are missing. Weight per horsepower is not measured. You cannot say 2.0 MT is “light for 44 hp” or “heavy for 44 hp” from this sheet.
Body type is Cabrio. That is the only body. There is no closed Adler 2-litre row here to trade against the Cabrio for weight or roof structure. Dimensions in millimetres are not on the sheet, so this section cannot invent length, width, height, or wheelbase.
Which version to choose
Choose 2.0 MT. It is the only version.
Comparison between versions, using arithmetic on the given numbers:
- Versions in catalogue: 1. Difference in hp between the strongest and weakest Adler 2-litre: 44 − 44 = 0 hp.
- Difference in kW: 33 − 33 = 0 kW.
- Difference in displacement: 1910 − 1910 = 0 cm³.
- Difference in top speed: 110 − 110 = 0 km/h.
- Difference in gear count: 4 − 4 = 0.
- Generations: 1. There is no “later generation that added X.”
What the extra money does not buy on this model page: more hp, a second fuel type, Automatic, more than 4 gears, a drive other than FWD, a body other than Cabrio, or a restyle listed as its own generation.
What 2.0 MT actually is, as a purchase filter:
1. Years: 1938-01-01 to 1940-12-31. If the car’s identity is outside that window, it is not this catalogue row. 2. Body: Cabrio only. 3. Engine: 1910 cm³, Gasoline, 4, Inline, Front, longitudinal, Carburetor, 44 hp / 33 kW. Specific output 23.04 hp/L. 4. Drivetrain: Manual, 4, FWD. 5. Speed: 110 km/h measured. 0–100 not measured. 6. Economy: city, highway, mixed, mpg, tank, CO2 — not measured. 7. Mass and size: kerb, gross, clearance, wheels — not measured.
Because torque, weight, and 0–100 are not measured, ranking 2.0 MT as “the sporting one” or “the efficient one” would be invention. The honest ranking is: it is the only one, with 44 hp, 1910 cm³, and 110 km/h.
If two cars both claim to be Adler 2-litre 2.0 MT, this database does not split them by a second power figure (there is no 44 hp vs another hp under the same name). Distinguish examples by condition and history, not by a second factory horsepower in this file.
Bottom line: buy 2.0 MT if you want the Adler 2-litre Cabrio as catalogued — 44 hp, 33 kW, 1910 cm³ Gasoline Inline 4, Front, longitudinal, Carburetor, Manual 4, FWD, 110 km/h, 1938–1940. There is no higher-output 2.0 MT, no diesel, no automatic, and no second generation. Every other numeric claim a seller might add (0–100, mpg, kg, tank litres) is not measured here and should be treated as outside this sheet.
