Zwickau
Special Exhibition: "2 Concepts - 1 Anniversary" - 60 Years of Trabant with Wankel Engine
These one-offs from 1966 are similar, yet distinct. Both vehicles were fitted with Wankel rotary engines for testing purposes; the P 601 as an (almost) production-standard saloon, and the P 602 V as a prototype with a hatchback body.
Both were driven as prototypes on the roads of the GDR - delivering one main revelation above all: that they would never enter mass production.
The story of a great beginning - and a quiet failure.
