“2 Concepts – 1 Anniversary”
60 Years of the Trabant with a Wankel engine

In this special exhibition, two Trabant prototypes come together. Having only recently been restored, they now offer a unique insight!

These one-off models from 1966 are similar, yet different. Both vehicles were fitted with Wankel engines for testing purposes; the P 601 as an (almost) standard saloon, and the P 602 V as a test vehicle with a fastback body.

As prototypes, both drove on the roads of the GDR – and, above all, led to one realisation: that they would never go into series production.

The story of a great new beginning – and a quiet failure.

‘100 Years of Horch 8. In the Footsteps of a Myth’

 

Exhibition dates: 6 February 2026 – 10 January 2027

2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the presentation of the first mass-produced German car with an 8-cylinder engine at the Berlin Motor Show. The Type 303 and 304 were followed by a series of models until the end of the 1930s, which almost became legendary under the ‘Horch 8’ brand due to their quality, reliability and elegance. To mark this occasion, the August Horch Museum is dedicating its special exhibition to this model series, which is so significant for the history of the brand.
