Known in the West as "the joke of Germany", the Trabant 601 was East Germany's main transportation from 1963 to 1990. Its polluting two-stroke was outdated in 1963 but by 1990 it pumped out a whopping 26 hp and a top speed of 62 mph! With power like that it's no wonder the Berlin Wall fell! This fine diecast is not only built better than the original…it's most likely faster!

Lawnboys! The engine is known for its simplicity and distinctive sound, contributing to the car's charm and appeal among enthusiasts. Can't you just smell the smoke, now?
