[1] It was a substantial six cylinder "limousine" (saloon) closely modelled on the manufacturer's Standard 6 which had first appeared in public in October 1926.

Due to simplifying roundings applied by the German Finance Office in converting the actual cylinder dimensions to "Tax engine capacity", cars of this period sometimes have their actual engine size quoted, which in the case of the Favorit was 1,943 cc, and sometimes their engine size for taxation purposes, which in this case was only 1,930 cc.

[2] Big news at the Berlin Motor Show in February 1933 was the arrival of a completely new, far more streamlined body for the Standard 6 and Favorit models.

On the Favorit the four cylinder engine was carried over to the new car, though a new carburettor was no doubt one reason why Adler were now quoting maximum power output as 40 PS (29 kW; 39 hp).

Attention also focused on the new ZF four speed transmission and the standard all-steel body which came, as before, from Ambi-Budd in Berlin.
