Trabant to make its return
Scale model producer Herpa recently came with a 1:10 model from a modern day Trabant. It knows looks like there is going to be a 1:1 version of it. A poll on the Herpa website showed that 93% of the voters would love to see the return of the Trabant.
By now, Herpa already has made a deal with armoured car specialist Indikar to make the 1:10 model into a 1:1. Not completely coincidence: Indikar is from Zwickau, the place were the first Trabant saw life. Rumors suggest that the new Trabi will cost around €10,000 and will be sharing its chassis with the BMW 1 series together with some other parts.
