That car was build in the second world war in germany, and it was a car destinated to all those who coulnd't afford one.Beeing a time where steel was needed for the war the cars building materials were carton with a small fiber glass layer on the outside.(to prevent the car from "melting" when it was raining)
The cars name is "trabant" and it runs with gas.Having a small engine you must mix the gas with some oil to be sure that none of the parts of the engine melt down.It also runs with any other material that is flammable, I personally know somebody who ran with his trabant on strong alcohol.
This car is an icon for the german past and still today it's loved by many.
This car has a "monster" of an engine ( 594 cc ) and can perform the outstanding performance of 26 bhp.... top speed, around 80 (90 if you have the balls) km/h.
