We’ll take you on a short trip, but, in order to do so, you have to forget everything you know about German cars. Today, we shall talk about... German cars, however, we are referring to the automotive creations coming from the former Eastern Germany. To be more specific, we’ll focus on the Trabant.
Like all cars from Eastern Germany, the Trabant, which was produced by a company with an insanely long name, VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau, had nothing to do with the assets German cars have accustomed us with. For example, the vehicle uses a two-stroke engine.

Nevertheless, the Trabant, which includes a wider range of models produced in over 3 million examples, has managed to gather a huge fan base.

The latest example of this comes in the form of the adjacent image, which shows us how far a driver went for customizing his Trabant. In this outfit, we can’t deny that the little thing has some sort of special visual aura.
