The Trabant Vehicle Undergoes a Modern Update

If you’re looking to relive to not-so-good-old-days, the Trabant vehicle is just for you. Ok, that may seem a little harsh, but considering that this was the choice car of the Communist era, can you blame me?

Powered by an electric engine, this Mini-esque car hopes to revive the Trabant vehicle name. Although resembling the Mini, it really is just a modern update of the original design.
