Austro-Daimler

The company sold so well that it also began manufacturing the automobiles after uniting with Eduard Fischer's engineering factory.

Whilst the assembling parts stemmed from Stuttgart, in 1900 they built their first automobile which featured 2 cylinders, 4 hp (3.0 kW), and 4 seats.

Soon they started producing engines for luxurious cars, trucks, buses, maritime ships, and trains.

Although Austro-Daimler cars were competing at races already, Porsche pioneered aerodynamic usage with two famous racecars (Mixte and Maya).

That year Emil Jellinek — who was Austrian too — bought several Austro-Daimler licenses to found ancillary companies abroad.

Pushing the company's development further, Porsche granted Austro-Daimler's definitive independence from DMG's ownership in 1909.

In 1911 Austro-Daimler began producing the Prinz Heinrich (in English: Prince Henry) model; this car, which featured an overhead cam 5,714-cc four-cylinder engine, quickly became famous.

The assembly soon numbered over 10,000 and the Stadtholder phoned the Volksernährungsamt - the state organisation managing food supply.

However, as the economic situation worsened, Porsche abandoned the company in 1923, ridding himself of Austro-Daimler's financial difficulties.

The last-named (the ADM III) developed 110 hp (82 kW) at 4,000 rpm and was one of the greatest automobiles of the decade.

Named the Bergmeister ADR 630 Shooting Grand, the car featured a 3 litre turbocharged six-cylinder engine from the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, paired with three electric motors, producing a total of 1,182 horsepower.
