"Trabant IS" - 1974 Trabant 601
by MTL Customs & Tuning
Dear Ms. Kowalczyk,
Here at MTL Customs & Tuning we are priding ourselves in making extreme restomoding of classic vehicles all around the world. The most important aspect for us is to tell a story with our projects that resonates with the owner.
See enclosed our proposal on the iconic Trabant and your touring business Royal Route Trabant. We decided to dig into the history and the past and try to make one of your beloved Trabant into a touristic attraction.
Taking a page from the history books and the Polish Army Museum of Warsaw, we transformed a cabrio Trabant into a IS-2 Tank replica. This is the perfect vehicle to tour Warsaw and share the rich polish history, while being an incredible photo-op.
While this vehicle is unmistakably a Trabant, the uniqueness of the vehicle, also acting as a billboard with ample marketing and branding opportunities, will be the talk of the town.
The raised upper deck can tour a typical family or group of 4 to 6 with kids, while seating a driver and navigator inside. The interior, while seemingly cramped, is incredibly comfortable with premium components throughout and a top of the shelf luxurious infotainment system and intercom connecting to the speakers and dual LCD above. Those two small LCD screens, controlled from the cabin, can be used to support the tour and/or provide advertising opportunities.
Two emergency hatches on each side and a rear entrance with sliding doors and a hydraulic hatch will impress anyone coming aboard the Trabant IS, or Trabb-IS as we like to call it. While the top is open for the summer days, an optional sealed canopy is available to combat against any inclement weather or even winter - it has A/C and heat control as well.
Internally, this Trabant is equipped with a low center of gravity boxer-6 that provides a smooth and comfortable ride, while keeping relatively quiet. It provides about 165hp and about 150 ft-lb of torque, allowing to smoothly handle loads up to 800kg. The original suspension was kept, but upgraded with better components and progressive springs. A new 5-speed automatic transmission could with an all new Front-Wheel Drive drivetrain allows you to handle worry free tours with only one staff and not worry about a clutch at the same time. Improved tires, rims and brakes also complements this build.
We believe the uniqueness, authenticity, attention to detail and history all combined in a single restomod makes this Trabant IS an incredible addition to your tour business. The prestige alone of driving or advertising with this one-of-a-kind Trabant will propel your business to new heights on the international stage.
Please do check out our various renders, spec sheets and simulations. We’ve taken as much care in them as in we will put into this project, should you accept our proposal.
We hope to hear from you soon.
Yours truly,
MTL Customs & Tuning
