Did you know that:

• Trabant cars were manufactured by Sachsenring in the Saxon city of Zwickau?
• The name Trabant comes from the word dráb (soldier) and came into German with the Hussite troops as "drabant"?
• In 1977 the price of the car was 36,500 CZK, which was about 15 times the salary?
• The waiting period for the new Trabant was up to 10 years?
• Is it the same carmaker that initially produced luxury P240 cars by German celebrities?
• The first 50 prototypes of Trabant cars came off the production line on November 7, 1957 on the 40th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Republic?
• We can make fun of Trabant cars, scold them, or make fun of them, but perhaps no other European car has become such a famous legend?
• Already in 1957, the car's designers came up with a completely revolutionary Duroplast material for the production of the body and thus preceded the development by a whole 50 years?
• Eeven today, cars with all-composite bodies are not mass-produced, although lamination technologies are far more affordable than in the 1960s?
• 601 series cars were manufactured until 1990?
• A total of 3,100,000 pieces were produced in various versions?
• The limits of the socialist economy did not allow for the continuous modernization of cars and production technologies, and so, for example, the quality control of a new engine was carried out by listening to the "experienced" ear of the master engineer?
• Did the successful Czechoslovak racer Helena Huclová ride the Trabants?
