New Trabi

Firm toys with Trabi plan

IF you think the idea of an all-new Trabant is laughable, the joke is on you!

Trabi

05th February 2008

Famous East European brand Trabant is on the comeback trail, thanks to German toy maker, Herpa.

Bosses unveiled a 1 to 10 scale model called newTrabi at last year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, and it provoked so much interest, they’re planning to build a full-size mock-up. Herpa owns the production rights for future Trabants, and has teamed up with specialist firm Indikar to develop a 1:1 scale model of its vision. The aim is to have a prototype ready for the 2009 Frankfurt show.

If you can’t wait for a production Trabant to arrive, help is at hand, though, because Herpa will unveil a miniature version at the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg, Germany, this week.
