Retrostyled Trabant Planned by German Toymaker

Model car manufacturer Herpa bought the rights to the Trabant and has announced a partnership with specialty car manufacturer IndiKar to produce an all-new, operational version of everyone’s favorite East German workhorse. Don’t expect the new Trabbi to hit showrooms anytime soon, but if it does, let’s hope it has something other than the 2-cyl 2-stroke engine or it’ll never pass US emissions. Full story at and press release at WorldCarFans.

New Trabant!

This is interesting. East German auto with modern, purely Western design cues.
