Love these retrotest. The travel on this Trabant reminds me the Renault R-8 of my grandpa. Its my sensation or the clutch is almost dead? Good test Joe and thanks for test like this. More, please....;)
Actually, this one is the last model of Trabant which had a VW Polo engine. It wasn’t that bad especially when compared to earlier 2 stroke models that didn’t even get to 100.
@@masterkamen371 they did actually have a top speed of 120kph ,but only if it was driven properly in the break in period (first 4000 kilometers?) ,If you didn't break it in properly the engine would've become very unreliable and inefficient
I think the Trabant 1.1 owners must feel a bit snobbish because their car was probably a bit advanced with that 1.1ltr VW polo engine and some more features and mechanical and cosmetic changes compared to older 2 stroke Trabant. This must have felt much quicker with 41hp because the older 2 stroke versions produced around 20 or 30hp in their lifetime with sub 600cc twin cylinder engine. And most importantly this Trabant 1.1 is a rare car to get your hands on literally because they only sold from 1990 to 1991. This must be pretty reliable compared to older ones for sure.
The VW 1.1ltr is good for up to 55PS, so potentially it could be tuned up to VW's own specs. That would make the Trabant even more entertaining. I was impressed to see the LED bar displays for the fuel tank and what appears to be either the temperature gauge or rev counter.
@@smhorse Well in Trabant they must have used a carburettor setup which only produced 41hp and then later on with multiple upgrades to that engine VW must have bumped it upto 55ps with MPFI I guess . See VW basically dumped the old tech to Trabant's manufacturers. It was " hand me down " literally from VW 😂. But vastly modern reliable on Trabant in 1990.
It must be weird that you must allways press pedal to the metal every time you start from a red light...all this just to keep up with the slowest new cars on the road thats pressing half the way lol
It's a 1.1 (yes, it's the official name). Built 1989-1991, it was an attempt to upgrade Trabant in order to allow it to compete with Western cars. It failed
@@piotrnapora5810 : it failed, but at least they tried. What Trabant really needed was a new body design, but there was never going to be any money to invest in that.
Not so far of the 1989 Seat Ibiza 1.7 D of my father. Probably the worst diesel engine of its category for years until the arrive of the 1.9 D of VW group...;)

Nah, clutch was this "bad" from factory, so you wouldn't tell the difference LOL
To chyba najlepszy filmik z jazdy Trabantem 1.1 jaki widziałem, DOBRA ROBOTA :)
Beautiful piece of a machine! It's fun to see something different.
You should drive the 601 as well, that's the real fun😁

Wow I was expecting a pile of crap but it looks like a decent little car.
I don't think I have seen a POV video for a 1.1 before!
I immediately recognized it's in Warsaw only becuase I was there for few days, interesting. :-D
Shift gears was on the wheel column in my country

How much KM does it have ? Any idea about km/L ? Thx
Dziwne, że nie dręczą go jeszcze, typowo Trabantowe usterki, typu gaźnik bez wolnych obrotów.
Pamiętam kiedyś jak w Polsce dużo trabantów jeździło tylko, że trochę inne niż ten
Dwusuwy? Silnik 1.1 dodali chyba po komunie
Szkoda, że dwusuwa nie dali. 1.1 to już nie ten sam klimat.
