The Trabant 1.1 (German: [tʁaˌbant ˈʔaɪns pʊŋkt ˈʔaɪns]) is the fourth and final series production model of the East German Trabant series, made by VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau. Unlike its predecessors, which have a two-stroke engine, the Trabant 1.1 has a four-stroke engine. In total, 39,474 units of the Trabant 1.1 were made from May 1990 to 30 April 1991.[1][2] This makes the 1.1 the rarest Trabant model.
Most Trabant 1.1 were exported to Poland and Hungary. In Germany, it did not sell very well; in 1990, the 1.1 saloon was offered at a price of DM 10,887,[3] which, at the time, was considered overpriced.
