「双语科普」365天里的汽车往事（1957 11 7 64 years ago）

特拉贝特P50

The first Trabant was produced at the former Horch auto works in Zwickau, East Germany. The first Trabant, the P50 had a 2-cylinder, 500-cc engine capable of just 18 bhp. In design, it was the archetypal East European car: small, boxy in appearance. Yet, despite its lack of style and power, the P50 and its successors were affordable by the citizens of East Germany and other Soviet bloc countries.

1957年11月7日，东德茨维考（Zwickau）的前霍希汽车厂制造出第一辆特拉贝特（Trabant）汽车。特拉贝特首款车型—P50 配备双缸500 cc发动机，功率仅为18马力。在设计上，有着典型的东欧汽车风格：外观小巧、四四方方。尽管缺乏风格和力量感，但P50及其继任车型是东德和其他苏联集团国家的大众可以买得起的汽车。
