A water cooled four cylinder engine with an 80 millimetre bore and a 140 millimetre stroke displaced 2,815 cubic centimetres and gave 15 PS, sent to the rear axle by a cardan shaft, for a stated top speed of 38 to 64 kilometres per hour depending on the gearing. On a wheelbase of 306 centimetres the car was 431.5 centimetres long and 161.5 centimetres wide, and the bare chassis weighed 800 kilograms.
