The Trabant is an automobile which was produced from 1957 to 1990 by former East German car manufacturer VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau.

The Trabant was loud, slow, poorly designed, badly built, inhospitable to drive, uncomfortable, confusing and inconvenient. The Trabant had a hard plastic body mounted on a one-piece steel chassis , front-wheel drive, a transverse engine, and independent suspension – unusual features at that time — but it remained the same up until the 1990s. The 1980s model had no tachometer, no headlights or turn signals indicator, no fuel gauge, no rear seat belts, no external fuel door, drivers had to pour a mix of gasoline and oil directly under the hood, etc.Called a spark plug with a roof, 3,096,999 Trabants in a number of models were produced over nearly three decades with few significant changes in their basic design.

The Trabant also gained a following among car tuning and rally racing enthusiasts.
