Trabant Kübel & Trabant 1.1
Today I present you a small mod for Trabant enthusiasts. It includes Trabant 1.1 and Trabant Kübelwagen/Tramp.
Both cars are modified variants of the vanilla Trabant model.
Info on Trabant Kübelwagen:
The military version of the Trabant P601. It was developed after the construction of the border wall between East and West Germany in 1961, as the East German borderguards now needed a suitable vehicle for their patroulling duties.
This car was suited for the job: The construction of the Trabant is both lightweight and robust, so its offroad performance was actually pretty good, considering how easy to produce the car was.
Serial production of this vehicle lasted from 1966 to 1990 and it has the same stats as the Vanilla Trabant.
*UPDATE:* I made a variant without the East German Logo on it available. Also, I added Trabant Tramp (civilian Kübel) in these colors:
-White
-Light blue
-Yellow
Info on Trabant 1.1:
Here, we have the modernised version of the Trabant P601, after it was in serial production for 26 years without any successful modernization efforts. Especially the two-stroke engine was considered to be heavily outdated in the later production years.
So finally, after many attempts of updating the car to modern standards (which were mostly blocked by the East German government), the Trabant 1.1 went into production in 1990, featuring a modern 4-stroke engine made by Volkswagen alongside many reworked components. This was a huge improvement over the P601 although the obselete 1960s design of the car was not updated.
Still, its success was very limited, because in 1990 it was already possible to buy western cars in most Eastern bloc countries.
Between 1990 and 1991, 39474 vehicles were produced.
