Trabant 601 | "The Best East German Car"

The Trabant 601 was made from 1964 all the way until 1990. After the wall separating the East from the West fell, the East German automotive industry fell on its knees, marking the end of Trabant and the 601.
Before the wall fell, the Trabant 601 was considered the best thing a man could have. Though loud, uncomfortable and high polluting, the "car" was highly popular in the Soviet countries. This was due to its "ease" of getting, you only had to wait around 10 years to get one! The 601 was also highly repairable and made of the strongest material known to man, duroplast, which is basically industrial waste. Oh, did I mention that the 601 had a 2-stroke engine instead of a typical 4-stroke engine, which was even at the time of the Trabants release in 1964, very outdated, inefficient, loud and unreliable.

• Engine: 25hp dual cylinder 2-stroke
  
• Top Speed: Fatal (125kmh)
  
• Range: not included in package, must be bought separately

1. Enable the Fuel Valve and the Ignition Lock. (optionally the choke as well)
   
2. Hold the starter button for a few seconds. Engine should start eventually.
   
3. Gently smash the throttle pedal to the floor and throw it in gear (axis 3 up/down).
   
4. Now the car should move. If you stall it, repeat from step 2.
