Cobi 24516 Trabant 601 Deluxe

Trabant is a brand of passenger cars manufactured in the GDR at the VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke plant in Zwickau. The 601 model debuted on the market in 1964 and was produced until 1990. The De Luxe version was developed in 1967. Trabant cars featured several technically interesting solutions. These include: a body made of a plastic material called Duroplast. It had a melting point similar to aluminum and increased the car's resistance to corrosion and crushing. Other notable solutions include a small two-stroke engine, large windows and a relatively spacious interior. The car reached a dizzying speed, slightly exceeding 100 km/h. Our 1:35 scale model is built from 72 building blocks and very faithfully reproduces the characteristic shapes of the original Trabant 601. The car is in a new light blue color, even closer to the iconic original! The car has swivel wheels with tires that are ideal for moving the model around while playing. The package contains 72 building blocks, does not include figures.
