VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau built the Trabant 601 from 1964 onwards; it was meant to be built during a few years only but politics decided it should stay in production till 1990. During the years, the appearance of the 601 changed in the details only. The two-stroke engine driven car for the people should compete directly with small cars in the West. The basic 0,6 liter engine with 17 kW power originally was largely adequate to be compared with its main competitor, the VW Beetle. The Trabant 601 was the vehicle of the then DDR until the wall fell. More than 2,8 million were built and even though the basic engineering was initially sound, it gradually became outdated because only small changes were applied. The car still was a desirable object, as the waiting time of more than 10 years for a new one clearly illustrates.
