The Trumpf was the second of these two smaller Adlers to enter volume production, at the end of the Summer in 1932, and was the front wheel drive offering.

[1] The Trumpf was distinguished from its more conservatively configured Primus sibling both by its front wheel drive and by its relatively advanced independent suspension.

[1] At launch the car was offered with a four cylinder 1,504 cc engine for which maximum power output of 32 PS (24 kW; 32 hp) at 3,500 rpm was claimed.

At the front the radiator was installed behind a grill which differentiated the Trumpf from the Primus which for its first year of production had no grill over the radiator 1933 was the year in which an optional 1,645 cc engine became available on the Trumpf (as on the Primus), offering 38 PS (28 kW; 37 hp) of claimed maximum power at 3,800 rpm and a 100 km/h (63 mph) top speed.

Ambi-Budd now came up with a more modern steel body for the Trumpf which now had its windscreen slightly raked and its front doors hinged at the back to facilitate getting in and out.

The competition may have been hotting up for Adler whose market position slipped to fifth in 1938, overtaken by Ford whose own output volume almost doubled between 1936 and 1938.
