There were around 10,000 car brands and designers - most of them have disappeared. One of these vanished brands is Trabant, whose vehicles were also known as racing cars because of their thermoset plastic bodywork. The vehicles were constantly developed further and also enlarged, but compared to the competition in the West, the quantities remained modest and the delivery times almost unbearably long. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, production was slowly phased out.
