NSU-Pipe 34 PS

The NSU Pipe 34 PS and the NSU Pipe 50 PS were cars which the Neckarsulmer bicycle works stock company built in the years 1905 and 1906 under license from the Belgian automobile manufacturer Pipe. These models were pitched at the upper middle class, and were the first cars produced by NSU. The water-cooled engine of the less powerful design was a motor with a four-cylinder block, displacing 3768 cm³ (bore × stroke = 100 × 120 mm) and generating 34 PS (25 kW). The more powerful version had a similar engine with 8290 cm³ displacement (bore × stroke = 135 × 145 mm), which delivered 50 PS (37 kW). Both engines had Dual ignition (magneto and battery), automatic central lubrication and overhead valves. The engine power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a leather cone clutch, a four-speed gearbox with a right-hand shift mechanism and a chain. The wheelbase of the cars was 3000-3200 mm, their track width 1450 mm. The top speed was about 85 km / h. The cars were produced as double-phaeton, Roi-des-Belges, Landaulet or sedan. In 1906 the 15/24 PS replaced both models.
