Trabi Or Trabant was one of the most popular cars in Eastern Germany and in other communist countries. His name means Satellite and was inspired by Soviet space ship Sputnik. Today, this car is trendy and one of the symbols of Berlin. We can frequently see it rolling on the streets, in Berlin Mitte.
First model – Trabant 500- was made in 1957, model Trabant 601 has been modified as a limousine. The last model that was built is Trabant 1.1, was popular in 1990-1991.
Times magazine 2008 rated it between 50 the worst cars ever made. One of the reason for such a bad rating is the pollution he produces which is about 10 times more than the eco- limits today. This sweetie is made from organic materials: cotton and soft plastic, and the funny thing about it is we can see a pig eating Trabi in one of the Emir Kusturica’s film.
But, anyway people in Berlin like it so much, so you can easily book it, and make one city tour  and be prepared it is not so cheep!
