AutoTopNL : 83th Lamborghini NoSpeedLimitGermany : let's try this awesome 26 HP Trabant Thanks for this gift Santa Claus, I wish you a merry Christmas too !
That rain actually slowed the car down. Because the tires have to push away the water on the road. I think this Trabbi will do 105-107km/h on a dry road.
As a 2CV driver I have such empathy for the stress and pain of getting out into the fast lane desperately hoping it doesn’t start going uphill soon. Less is more! Would love to drive a trabant one day
Thankfully it's a two stroke engine so the RPMs are higher even though it's only 26hp, combined with the plastic body panels which makes for a lightweight car.
@@tristan6509 Oh, yes, I drove, I know the model quite well, because I was born in a communist country (RO) and we had a lot of Trabants! It is the simplest engine in the whole world !
This was pure comedy adrenaline... Holding up the key to reveal no central locking, grabbing the most useless lap seatbelt, coming to a complete stop for a full send at the motorway entrance, and then having the cajones to make it all the way to the left lane!!! Great work!
So far the coolest video ever on the channel classic cars are much more fun to drive no grip unstable suspension loud engine feels like you’re driving very fast and free. For the power that Trabi has it’s surprisingly quick😀
No idea how you could label this "surprisingly quick" even for its rated power. Sure the needle seems to move quicker than expected but that's because the scale is about 2.5 times bigger than a regular car 🙂 I mean I like old cars but this is absolutely horribly slow.
Well, the top speed sticks between 100-110km/h but the engine doesn't sound that he has a hard job doing it. I drove a Trabi twice so far but not that fast, but this looks to me that this car gives the most smiles per km/h of speed than any other car.
Odpowiednia mieszanka oleju z wysokooktanową benzyną. Regulacja zapłonu, gaźnika, filtry to podstawa. W Trampku dobrej kondycji moi koledzy osiągali przy sprzyjających warunkach w sedanach 120km/h
To byt mój mistrz. W 6 osób (2 w bagażniku)😂 lataliśmy po lesie bokiem między drzewami. Po kilku godzinach wyżywania się zmienić trzeba było koło. Lewarek był zbędny. 😂
Call me slow but 110km/h is my top speed where I found myself driving comfortably most of the times. It’s the maximum speed allowed on most highways I have used anyway.
Fortunately there's no speed limit in Germany! 😁 Was my first car in 1993! My one went a bit better, I got it frequently to 115. provided there wasn't the slightest incline or wind from a slightly other direction then straight behind. Soo much fun! Really miss those days!
From the USA: : Ich liebe dein Trabant. I hope I got that right because it's been almost thirty-three years since I took my German courses in high school . Peace to you and all in 2023. I went on a school trip to Germany in April 1990.
You got it right 😂33 years are a long time and you still remember speaking german. That's nice. Whenever you come to Germany again - let me know. We can drive topspeed together on our famous autobahn.
Oh man I've lost....you got steel balls....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can imagine the face of the other drivers seeing the Trabant at top speed.... 110 omg....good video!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Merry Christmas and Happy 2023 to all!!!
In the 80s/90s, I often saw them on the estate where I grew up.. Currently, there are very few of them.. You can see that driving a Trabant on the highway is a fight for life 😉😉 Greetings from Poland..
My parents first car was a 601, 1987. But with a radio and an indicator showing how economically you are driving. I have seen it personally on the 120 mark on a highway going down. One of the first cars I was actually driving as a small boy on my grandparent's village streets. 😇
Breaking the barriers of speed, and you can see that the LIGHT just left behind, the whole universe becomes two points, in front of you and behind you. I have had one back in 1992, and after a little treatment with Keen-Flo, 100 octane petrol + syntethic oil it flies at 126 Km/h. Trooooly
Üdv. Semmi gond velük! Mind a mai napig trabanttal járok igaz az 1.1 el. Hibátlanul működik csak jól kell vele bánni és meghálálja. Az kopó alkatrészeket meg az olajon kívül semmire nem kellet költenem. Igaz mikor megvettem 15éve 2 hétig dolgoztam vele mire jó lett. Azóta 200000km t tettem bele meg ékszijjak olaj és benzin. Üdv Egy szerelő.
Honestly this is much more entertaining for me, than watching another Lamborghini or similar super car on an other channel. Also, i would be exited to see some more socialist cars, like Lada, Wartburg, Old Skodas, etc :D
The drivers are so calm and educated. Driving in the 3rd lane with 100km/h and nobody is aggresive. In Romania they are coming from backwards with 150 km/h and start give flashes and keep a very small distance to you.
Sheer luck I'd say. I've heard people say that going below 120 km/h on German motorways is lethal and I can definitely confirm that Germans love to tailgate.
For all who think that Trabant is a deathtrap, remember that it is made of composite (duroplast) that abosrbs energy better then metal construction. Certainly, nobody is going to compare it with modern cars, but I have read that crash tests in united Germany in 90's were suprisingly good.
Das war auch meine erste Fahrt im Trabi und es hat eine Menge Spaß gemacht und war ein großartiges Erlebnis. Ich bin schon alles mögliche gefahren, aber der Trabi nimmt in der Erinnerung einen besonderen Platz ein.
One of the most terrifying video I've ever seen! 110 Km/h on wet condition on a Traby! 😱 Surrounded by huge camions and bumping like a rabbit! Man, you must have steel nerves (and no fear of dying maybe...😁!
Lepszy od malczana pod każdym względem, może oprócz przebiegu międzyserwisowego - na szczęście serwis da się ogarnąć samemu A kombi to już całkowicie masakruje malucha :P
Other than the engine sounding like it's at absolute full pelt, I'm really surprised at how sturdy the car is at such a speed! Especially for its age and the fact that it's not exactly built for this. Amazing
That Trabi sounds strong at speed! And not as rattly and raw as when going slower. Sorta like my old (1960) Goggomobil TS-400, with its 20 horsepower twin. I never got it up to its alleged top speed, though I did manage 85 kph once -- but then it was also 55 years old, and probably not in the best of tune!
Qualche anno fa ,nella serie poliziesca " Squadra speciale Cobra 11", si è visto uno dei principali protagonisti, Semir che guidava una Trabant colore celeste , all'inseguimento di un criminale ( con una macchina più veloce), e Semir arrabbiatissimo, perché non riusciva a spremere di più il motore, per giunta la Trabant fu superata da una locomotiva a vapore!
Ah, the good old Trabi. That iconic engine sound and wannabe Cadillac look. If I remember right, we had three Trabis back in the day, but they were come and go cars, maintance was there, but we used them for everything, because it was really really cheap, but nowadays, some of the good condition one worth their weight in gold.
Before the little Zwickau stops, you have, for example, bmw, mercedes and co. already done on the scrap yard a long time ago. but awesome video autobahn on the far left with the trabi.
We went 1974 to Baltic Sea Holidays 390 km at Sunday, 5 o'clock in the morning with a speed of 70km/h, no otther cars. Less consumption at 6,5l/100km less noise, 2 stops for refreshing & picknic and 12 o'clock at the sea. No problem. We bought it for friendly 8500 Mark, 1964er Model in pastell green in very good condition. (The used car was 10 years old. Price for a new car was 10 000 Mark, but we had to wait 10 years from registration to delivery. A registration could bought for 3000 Mark.) Top speed with inspected engine: 130km/h Speed Limit was 80km/h on roads 100km/h on Autobahn
I'm surprised the engine didn't explode while driving. It's a really fun car, but I didn't like the Trabant as a kid. Top video! Thanks. Happy New Year!🙂
In 1997, the first generation Mercedes A-Class failed the moose test, and a Trabant passed it flawlessly. Don't judge the Trabant too harshly - its creators really did the best they could considering what they had to work with and the pressure from the East German government.
Which model L300 do you have? My parents have a 1996 GLX 2WD manual with the 51 kW 2.5D (4D56) engine and it can be pushed to 145 on the flat and my brother once tried 155 downhill. The pre-1986 models with 4-speed gearbox were slower and our previous 1988 van (same gearbox and engine as the '96 as far as I know) didn't go any faster than 130 either for some reason. I usually cruise at 120 though because beyond that you think you've got a hole in the tank. Once a year or so I give it the boot for a few km to clear out any soot.
It's a history already! But it was the reality back then. In my country, Hungary this was the car of the simple workers. You had to wait it for long years! You paid for it, then you were waiting it for 4 - 5 years. When somebody received it finally - usually NOT the color which he originally ordered, but who cares - it became a very - very important member of the family! The people went with it to the Lake Balaton or the Bulgarian seacoast on summers. On weekends they washed it with brush from bucket with shampoo in the parking of the block houses. They put fur cover on the steering wheel, there was a popular toy - dog, sitting behind the back window with rhythmically nodding head.
An old Hungarian joke from the past: A Trabant breaks down on the motorway. A Ferrari stops next to it. The Ferrari driver tells the driver of the Trabant that he will tow it to the next petrol station, but if he is driving too fast, he should flash his lights. He starts to tow the Trabant when a Lamborghini pulls up beside them and drives past at full throttle. The Ferrari immediately follows the Lamborghini. A policeman spots them and reports it to headquarters: - They are racing on the motorway, with a Lamborghini in front, a Ferrari behind, and a Trabant following closely behind! At the next checkpoint, another policeman reports: - The Lamborghini is only third, the Ferrari is first, and the Trabant is second, but it's all for nothing, the Trabant is flashing, it wants to overtake the Ferrari!

I appreciate that 👍🏻. Wish you a merry christmas too.
eighty thirth
@@patrycjusz292 ooooops 83rd 😭
Look at it this way - 103km/h is closer to 200km/h than it is to 0km/h, so I'd consider this a win.
A glass half full man.I admire your outlook,optimism is under rated😂
Still better than walking in rain or snow at 3 mph 😅
True 😂
Nah! Bro i wait for catastrophic engine failure so long and nothing. I'm really disappointed.
nope, 103 kmh at ODO mean 94-95 for truck and real speed
Trabant, on the left, rain and full speed... You have balls.
Thank you! I appreciate that.
Called Bakelite Balls syndrome. Damn I was sweated watching it
And wats the rein 🤔
This made me smile !! I like it.
That rain actually slowed the car down. Because the tires have to push away the water on the road. I think this Trabbi will do 105-107km/h on a dry road.
As a 2CV driver I have such empathy for the stress and pain of getting out into the fast lane desperately hoping it doesn’t start going uphill soon. Less is more! Would love to drive a trabant one day
I would love to drive a 2CV one day. I never had the opportunity yet. But this year I will make it happen!

the shell of it is pretty much a cardboard box. it's like a modern race car with carbon fiber (ie.: plastic); just with paper. lol.
Thankfully it's a two stroke engine so the RPMs are higher even though it's only 26hp, combined with the plastic body panels which makes for a lightweight car.
@@tristan6509 Oh, yes, I drove, I know the model quite well, because I was born in a communist country (RO) and we had a lot of Trabants!
It is the simplest engine in the whole world !
@@CitarNosis317 It is cotton not paper.
The cotton composite panels aren’t so light, because are quite thick about 4-5mm .
This was pure comedy adrenaline... Holding up the key to reveal no central locking, grabbing the most useless lap seatbelt, coming to a complete stop for a full send at the motorway entrance, and then having the cajones to make it all the way to the left lane!!! Great work!
Thank you for your conclusion. I loved reading it.
At least it has a seatbelt originally they don't even have seatbelts
Fun fact
that is not a lap belt, but rather a 3 point belt
it is also manually adjustable, which few people seem to know
So far the coolest video ever on the channel classic cars are much more fun to drive no grip unstable suspension loud engine feels like you’re driving very fast and free. For the power that Trabi has it’s surprisingly quick😀
It is such a real and raw driving experience. no abs, weak breaking system and in case of an accident you are gone. But it is so worth to drive it.
The Car is increadibly lightweight. That compensates a little for the lack of Power.
Seems like he is doing 250 km/h at 100😁
@@NoSpeedLimitGermany it does save on casket costs tho, 2 in 1 solution.
No idea how you could label this "surprisingly quick" even for its rated power. Sure the needle seems to move quicker than expected but that's because the scale is about 2.5 times bigger than a regular car 🙂
I mean I like old cars but this is absolutely horribly slow.
My first car was a Trabant. I really liked this little paper jaguar. It was loud, slow, smelly, but still there was something charming about it.
I did have blue combi too, we in CZ ,build houses whit help of thous!!

And the best is: a 100km/h speed limit is not a limit, but a target!
Yeah it's great to go for topspeed on speed limited roads and don't have to concern about it 🤣

Goosebumps.... ear how the engine screams, the sound its like a Piaggio ape
My dad had the "sedan" 601, what a machine! Thanks for the video mate, brought back some good childhood memories!
Thank you my friend. I'm glad to hear that.
100 kph has never felt so damn fast
I admire the courage of the driver, when he reached a speed of 101 kilometers, I thought the Trabant would fall apart
Der Sound hält mit jedem Sportwagen mit.
Absolutely high performance 105kph =350kph !!!!
Really cool video and nice little piece of history on wheels!
Das schnellste an der Karre sind die Scheibenwischer. Brillant! Eine technische Meisterleistung. Echte Ingenieurskunst .
This used to be our family car (in Panama-Green) in the 1980s. Good memories, I can still smell the two-stroke fumes.
Those fumes are not easily forgotten.
100 km/h is about 62 miles/h in the U.S. That’s faster than I thought the TRABANT could go.
If it was in good shape it should be able to do 70, some even got up to 75 in the right conditions.
One of the most terrifying video I've ever seen! 110 Km/h on wet condition on a Traby! 😱 Surrounded by huge camions and bumping like a rabbit! Man, you must have steel nerves (and no fear of dying maybe...😁!

One of your best videos so far and a great car! Cant wait more videos with cars like this one!
Shes flying 😋 i love the Trabbi.
Pappe fahren ist so ziemlich das geilste was man erleben kann!
Ja, unvergessliche Erinnerung!
Other than the engine sounding like it's at absolute full pelt, I'm really surprised at how sturdy the car is at such a speed! Especially for its age and the fact that it's not exactly built for this. Amazing
That Trabi sounds strong at speed! And not as rattly and raw as when going slower. Sorta like my old (1960) Goggomobil TS-400, with its 20 horsepower twin. I never got it up to its alleged top speed, though I did manage 85 kph once -- but then it was also 55 years old, and probably not in the best of tune!
Real fight to reach 110 km/h ;) Great test

🤣🤣🤣
GO Trabi GO.... die Geilste Care auf diesem Planeten!!!!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍
The fact that you changed lanes to the far left lane in a Trabant on the Autobahn deserves a badge of honour....I would never attempt that.
Memorys from the time as i was a child. Thanks for the video! Sachsenring for ever.
Thank you for watching. Very appreciated.
I love this car
I love it too ❤
quite courageous to drive the car so fast .. respect !! 👋

Best car ever. I miss my Trabant 601.
Brave driver on the left lane!

Azért csoda, hogy nem vette ki a rendőr a belső sávból, kb 40 autó csak, ami elé bepofátlankodott :D
Trabant 601 T.I.E. fighter of the road! Kombi is the bomber variant ( loud ,no armor, fuel tank ower the engine and works with gravitiy.)😎
One of the best car ever made, for the power I must say that is impressive. Still German engineering although east block.
In a Trabant you don't overtake the police. The police overtakes YOU.
Before the little Zwickau stops, you have, for example, bmw, mercedes and co. already done on the scrap yard a long time ago.
but awesome video autobahn on the far left with the trabi.
It is now more than 50 years old and drives very well. When good maintained it will do another 50 ;)
oooh, yeah ! we a rolling just a nick of 110 under even in rain with a ,,Trabby"... magical !
I bet that feels way faster than 200+ in a normal car. My family used to have a BMW Isetta and 80kmh in that thing felt like light speed.
Yr family went that fast in a Isetta, they’re mad 🤣🤣.
It felt much faster than the speedo shows 😂
We went 1974 to Baltic Sea Holidays 390 km at Sunday, 5 o'clock in the morning with a speed of 70km/h, no otther cars.
Less consumption at 6,5l/100km less noise, 2 stops for refreshing & picknic and 12 o'clock at the sea. No problem. We bought it for friendly 8500 Mark, 1964er Model in pastell green in very good condition. (The used car was 10 years old. Price for a new car was 10 000 Mark, but we had to wait 10 years from registration to delivery. A registration could bought for 3000 Mark.)
Top speed with inspected engine: 130km/h
Speed Limit was 80km/h on roads
100km/h on Autobahn
I'm surprised the engine didn't explode while driving. It's a really fun car, but I didn't like the Trabant as a kid. Top video! Thanks. Happy New Year!🙂

Speed dial shakes 'n trembles from all that power.
Cutest car ever.
If we imagine that Speedometer is in MPH... 😂😂😁
was not expecting it to get up to speed quite like that ... its quicker than my mitsubishi L300... and faster too.
Which model L300 do you have? My parents have a 1996 GLX 2WD manual with the 51 kW 2.5D (4D56) engine and it can be pushed to 145 on the flat and my brother once tried 155 downhill.

...ein meisterstück der ddr!...😁👍
Haha good one... this reminds me of my dads first car - Skoda 100. Driving at the speed about 100 kph made you feel like you have 200 kph or more.
An old Hungarian joke from the past:
A Trabant breaks down on the motorway. A Ferrari stops next to it. The Ferrari driver tells the driver of the Trabant that he will tow it to the next petrol station, but if he is driving too fast, he should flash his lights. He starts to tow the Trabant when a Lamborghini pulls up beside them and drives past at full throttle. The Ferrari immediately follows the Lamborghini.

😂 this joke is well known in germany too
You won't believe how much faster it feels.
I like how the Trabant is doing just fine in the traffic for such a weak engine, I saw a Fiat 126p really struggling
Yeah, but 100km/h feels like 500km/h, so that gives a better experience.
What a nice Christmas gift from you 🎄 such a rare car!
Very cool, love old cars. Greetings!
