Ready for a mouthful? Okay, well, somewhere out there in the world, there is a company called Herpa Miniaturmodelle GmbH, and although it sounds sort of like a highly contagious disease or something, it is actually a car company that specializes in making full scale models. This is notable because at a fairly recent Frankfurt auto show — the IAA, actually — the company revealed the Trabant nT concept, which is totally electric.

This car is a modern take on a more classic car, although I have to say that, as far as the exterior goes, the only thing really modern I see is the rather boxy shape. That’s not a slight; I think the vehicle looks awesome. I am just saying that this so called modern take could be taken a bit deeper — but at the same time I am glad it is not.

We love anything that needs a motor to run. Motor bikes, cars - even lawn mowers; as long as they go over 25mph! :) Without motors, the world would be a much duller place, and we're using our knowledge of the interweb to spread the joy and love for speed, motors, rubber and petrol! Everone loves to ride his car, but these days cars are getting more expensive each day. When you find used cars for sale you can finally enjoy the trill of riding a car.
