Trabant

Trabant was a car company founded in 1953 that made coupes and estates. It was purchased by Ferrari in 2008.

History
Trabant was founded in 1953 by a group of 11 men in East Germany. They wanted a nuclear-powered car that would take over the industry. After selling 3 prototype cars, they started making the first generation Trabant. It was first sold for the 1957 model year. The original Trabant's nuclear power system was faulty, and resulted in several deadly explosions. Trabant would introduce an estate version of the Trabant in 1963. The original Trabants were replaced with a second generation for the 1964 model year. Between 1966 and 1968, all first generation Trabant models were taken off the road and scrapped. Several explosions happened both during the scrapping and after the scrapping. The most recent explosion happened in 2018, when a scrapping site near Roscock exploded.

The second generation Trabant was much better. It is generally agreed to be one of the greatest cars ever made, along with the YuuY and the motherfucking Mirage. A sporty version called the Trabant Estate S was introduced in 1976. The third generation of Trabant came out in 1990, sales started to fall significantly. By January of 2008, the company was on the brink of bankruptcy. In March of 2008, Ferrari completely bought out the company. In 2013, the classic Trabant was replaced with the LaTrabant. The LaTrabant would be produced until 2019, when Ferrari discontinued it.

The LaTrabant Spider is a very rare version of the LaTrabant. Only about 200 of them were made between 2016 and 2018.
