2009 Frankfurt Auto Show: the Return of Trabant
A German team of car specialists has decided to revive the classic Trabant in a new electric-car look. At the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show the small car firm Herpa made a survey on whether auto fans would like to see a redesigned Trabant. Almost 10,000 people responded agreeing that the car should exist in the future.
Trabant was built in East Germany in 1957-1991. It could not remain in the present world without changes because the car has a two-stroke engine which was absolutely environmentally unfriendly.
This time miniature car company Herpe Miniaturmodelle teams up with specialist firm IndiKar and Volkswagen interior designer Nils Poschwatta for the new Trabant nT project. Pretty soon it will be unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. The only details about the new small car were given by IndyKar: the nT prototype has solar-roof panel, satellite navigation iPod connectivity and all-electric power.
If you are excited to see the Trabant before the presentation, download, cut out and glue together the paper version of the car given on www.herpa.de.
