The Trabant is a cultauto, not in the least place because of its special communist history that sticks. Quickly, he is however certainly not, but some creative Bulgarians have something done.

Originally there was a small pruttel-two-stroke in the Trabant, the car that you in the DDR and the Soviet-sattelietstaten during the Cold War was necessary, if you are lucky enough was the huge waiting list to survive. The plastic body had as a great advantage that there is in any case no rust occurred, and he was very flexible.

In the meantime, cars are getting rarer, since there are ever plans for a revival are made, but never a sequel got. Many fans cherish the car as an icon from the time of the DDR, and there are already many creative ombouwprojecten. An ‘RS’version we saw not often pass by, sometimes.

The Bulgarian KoKanja picked up the glove on, and spooned a 2.0 turbo from a Fiat Coupe in the Trabbi, good for up to 220 hp. But here it didn’t, as you can see, the entire car taken in hand, not in the least place in the interior, where we have a whole new dashboard, nice black leather with blue stitching and Recaro’s encounter.

The result is modern power in a melancholy jacket, like? Video of the DDR-dweller on steroids you can find on autojunk. (KoKanja, via diariomotor)
