One such car was the private car of the German-Austrian racing driver Hans Stuck: an ADM-R from 1929. The vehicle has a wooden body and an engine developed by engineer Karl Rabe with 120 hp and a weight of 1200 kilograms. The car is actually the base model of the ADM-R racing car with fenders.

Hans Stuck's sports car is a very fast and agile vehicle with swing axles on the rear wheels. It also has a so-called mother-in-law seat, an occasional seat behind the front seats. Thanks to the aluminium connecting rod engine with particularly high torque, the car is ideally suited for mountain driving. Only two of them were actually built.

The Austro Daimler Bergmeister touring car, one of the best automobiles of the Thirties, later emerged from these precursors. The new logo with a bow and arrow on the radiator cap symbolised the highest automotive engineering art, which stood up to comparison with the best in Europe. Unfortunately, the local market had become too small for these models after the First World War to secure their survival. Hence the logical merger to form Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG in 1934!
