Spare parts for your car
Wartburg cars were produced from 1955 till 1991 by the Automobilwerk Eisenach company at a factory located in the Eisenach city in the German Democratic Republic. Later the brand belonged to the German concern Industrieverband Fahrzeugbau (IFA). The products made by the enterprise were mostly sold in Hungary and Poland. Some models, such as the IFA F9 and 311 were popular also in the rest European countries. The last owner of the brand was Opel AG.
Technical specifications of Wartburg cars
The vehicles of the make were characterized by eye-catching exteriors. So, the 311 saloon produced in 1955, which was well-known beyond Germany, had a wide and low silhouette and a concave chromed radiator grille. The dual-colour body was also unconventional. The 313 roadster was awarded a title of “The most beautiful European Car” at the New York International Auto Show in 1958.
The design of Wartburg cars was also unusual. The same 311 model, manufactured from 1955, had a body-on-frame construction, which eased body repairs. The saloons were notable by such Wartburg car part as a huge sunroof to the full area of the roof, while the estate cars had a significant area of glazing.
Technical equipment of the vehicles was also advanced for their time. For example, starting from 1975, the estates and pickups manufactured by the make were equipped with brake boosters, which improved the braking performance. The power units were characterized by fuel efficiency. For instance, from 1962, the 312, 313 and 353 models were equipped with 3 cylinder petrol engines of up to 1 litre displacement. Though their output didn’t exceed 50 hp, this ensured fuel saving. And in 1988 the company started to equip its cars with improved 4 cylinder engines produced by Volkswagen AG.
