Adler

1994-1994

Brand Data

Adler Industries was an American kit car manufacturer based in Sandy, Utah. Unlike many of its contemporaries in the kit car industry, the company did not focus on producing replicas of the Shelby Cobra, instead carving out a niche with a distinctive alternative design.

The company's primary product was a car inspired by the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR, though its styling more closely resembled the 300 SL roadster combined with the front end of the 300 SLR. This blend of design cues gave the vehicle a unique appearance that set it apart from other replicas on the market at the time.

Adler's cars were built around a tubular space frame chassis, a construction method that provided strength while keeping weight manageable. For power, the company relied on American-sourced Chevrolet engines, offering both 5.7-liter and 7.4-liter displacement options to suit different performance preferences.

The company offered flexibility to its customers by selling the vehicles either as rolling chassis, allowing buyers to complete the build themselves, or as fully assembled cars ready for the road. This approach was typical of the kit car industry, catering to enthusiasts who wanted varying levels of involvement in the construction of their vehicle.
