The Trabant is a car brand manufactured in the GDR by VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke in Zwickau. The model 601 was launched in 1964 and was produced until 1990. Several technically interesting solutions were used in Trabant cars, including a body made of a plastic called Duroplast. It had a similar melting point to aluminum and increased the car's corrosion and pressure resistance. Other notable solutions include a small two-stroke engine, large windows, and a relatively spacious interior. The car achieved a dizzying speed of just over 100 km/h. The Trabant can rightly be considered a cult car from the GDR. To this day, it remains a recognizable classic among car enthusiasts.
