Electric Trabant nT Breaks Cover
FRANKFURT — The electric Trabant is having its 15 minutes of fame at the Frankfurt auto show. What happens next is anybody’s guess.

Electric version of Trabant set for Frankfurt debut

German manufacturer Herpa Miniaturmodelle GmbH plans to show a “New Trabi” prototype in Frankfurt in the hope of attracting investors willing to help relaunch a modern, environmentally friendly version of the classic city car in 2012.
