A factory team of four cars was prepared for the 1913 Austrian Alpine Trial with four speed gearboxes, and engine power increased from 60 bhp to 75 bhp by an increase in compression ratio and larger carburettor. The team gained six awards including the Archduke Leopold Cup. Four speed transmissions were fitted from 1913, and sales were then at their peak of 742 cars a year, and the footbrake moved to drums on the rear axle.
