It was successor to the highly successful model NW type S. It was made at the same time as NW type U until 1925, when both of the models were replaced by Tatra 17.

The engine NW T was a four stroke OHC water cooled inline four.

It had a capacity of 3563 cc, which gave an output of 33 kW (45 PS; 44 hp).

The car was gradually modernized - for instance, the manual starter was replaced by an electrical one, the gearstick was moved inside the car, front brakes were added, etcetera.

It was sold mostly as a luxurious limousine, although other variants were also made, such as an ambulance and a racing version.
