Trabi

Trabant is a series of small cars powered by two stroke engine, produced from 1957 until 1991 by former East German car manufacturer VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau.

The German word Trabant, derived from Middle High German drabant, means 'satellite' or 'companion'. The car's name was inspired by the Soviet Sputnik satellite. The cars are often referred to as "Trabbi" or "Trabi". Produced without major changes for nearly 30 years, the Trabant became the most common automobile in East Germany.
