The 2009 Trabant nT Concept is characterized by a distinctive appearance and pleasing proportions. No unnecessary beading, edges or conspicuous ornamentation distract from the overall shape. The trapezoidal grill opening downwards, the front and rear lights, the bumper pads as well as the superimposed roof are the fundamental graphic elements.
The asynchronous electric motor of the Trabant nT powerfully drives the front axles and achieves a maximum speed of 130 km/h. The engine is fed by a lithium-ion battery located in the design space between rear axle and the car’s transmission tunnel. The battery has a range of maximum 160 km. The Trabant nT can be fully recharged overnight utilizing the regular power network for about 1 Euro in electricity costs. There is hardly a less expensive way to get around!
The trendsetting concept therefore stands for a safe and reliable city- and medium-range car, a second family car, a handy helper for service providers from a wide range of areas. The Trabant nT will be on the road in 2012.
After the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the car manufacturer, Trabant, drew its curtain. However, there were still enough enthusiasts who cared for and maintained their "Trabi" for it to live on as cult car. That is why, even today approximately 52,000 vehicles of the Trabant series are still registered in Germany.
Due to the long professional experience with the popularity of automobiles and its fans, it was no surprise that it was the miniature manufacturer Herpa who began to sense the special character of the Trabant brand. Herpa developed a perspective for the cult car for the "50th Trabant anniversary" on November 7, 2007, and presented it as Initiative newTrabi at the IAA 2007. The overwhelming response of many thousands of interviewees around the IAA 2007 suggested the initiative’s continuation so the newTrabi idea became a project with capable partners from the Autoland Saxony resulting in the development of the Trabant nT concept cars.
