Wartburg 311

Description
Wartburg 311 from DDR

This automobile was built by the VEB Automobilwerk Eisenach in East Germany. After the Factory continued building pre-war BMW models until the mid-1950s, the factory's engineers developed the Wartburg. Although the East German government never intended (or even allowed) the development of this car, it went into production after being introduced to the public in 1955. The car became a huge success and even won some international awards. Until 1965, over 250.000 vehicles were produced, of which a large portion was exported (mainly into western countries). After that, it was replaced by the Wartburg 353, which is already included in the game.

In-game statistics:
-Engine power: 45 horsepower
-Empty weight: 920 kg
-Max speed: 95 km/h
(It was a bit faster in real life, but I didn't want it to be faster than the in-game Wartburg.)

Availabe colors:
-Dark blue (combined with white)
-Red (combined with white)
-Green (combined with white)
-Light blue
-Yellow
-Black combined with grey for the comrades at Stasi >:-)

It sounds the same as the Trabant, because they both feature a 2-stroke engine.

Thank you so much, it was my first car, back in 1990. I got a 1958 311 like the one you made. In Bordeaux - Red / White Combination (Can you add this too? Please?) and it looked like brand new. But it was already back then 32 years old. Drove it for about a year before it broke down badly. I loved it and it really was a great car.

I'm glad you like it! Thanks for your suggestions, I'll see what I can do. (Sry for the late answer, I didn't check the comments here in a while)

Thank you! Finally the most beautiful Eastern European car is in the game. Also it's very nicely modelled.
Someone in the previous commentes suggested the original Skoda Octavia (the late '50s model), I support the idea.
I would add the Trabant P50 too. It was a very common car here in Hungary in the Sixties.

Thanks for the feedback! I will definitely create some more Wartburg versions :) Though Czechoslovak vehicles and the Robur will have to wait for now.

This car is exactly what the game needed; most add car from the USSR which doesn’t really help when trying to recreate the Central European countries of the Eastern bloc, so this mod is just perfect.
Wartburg 311 is probably the most iconic Wartburg (although my favourite would be the 312), may I suggest the Camping version of the Wartburg and the Original Wartburg 311 with the old mask that was used between 1956 and 1959. The Trabant 600 with its iconic smile would be nice too.
Also, what about the Czechoslovak cars like the Škoda 440 Spartak or Octavia those were quite common in DDR, however that’s just a suggestion since you seem to be focused on the products of the DDR.

Well done! But I still miss the Robur trucks LO 2500 and LO 3000, also a classic in GDR road traffic.
