Reborn of Trabant, the symbol of East German Communism

Trabant, the symbol of East German Communism reborn at Frankfurt Motor Show

Reuter reporters have caught the first images of new generation of Trabant, the car that became a symbol of East German Communism. Although the general line was preserved, the new Trabant will include the latest technologies on the market.

The electric engine has nothing in common with the old two-stroke propeller engine, famous for how easy could damage. Now the car is environmentally friendly and more reliable that the original.

Journalist’s presents on Frankfurt Motor Show admire the new Trabant's curvaceous lines. The German manufacturer Herpa Miniaturmodelle GmbH says the Trabant NT "could be on the road by 2012."
