History

Introduced by Steyr-Daimler-Puch (the merged entity formed in 1934) as the Type 120, the car featured a moderately streamlined body designed by technical director Karl Jenschke and manufactured by Gläser-Karosserie of Dresden. Its double transverse-leaf independent front suspension was notably modern for the mid-1930s.

Powered by a six-cylinder 1,385 cc side-valve engine, the 120 Super was sold primarily in Austria and, as the 125 Super, in Germany. Approximately 1,200 Steyr 120 Super and 200 Steyr 125 Super were built before the larger-engined 220 succeeded it in 1937.
