ZAW Warnhorst 100

Lore:
ZAW (Zwickauer Automobilwerke)was one of the leading vehicle manufacturers in the GDR (German Democratic Republic), focusing on reliable passenger cars.

With the “Warnhorst 100”, the company started a new era in the automobile industry of the GDR. With body parts, made out of Duroplast, a stable plastic material, which was light and easy to assemble.

From 1964 until 1990, the Warnhorst was a successful car in the GDR. Around 48% of all cars in the GDR were Warnhorsts.

In 1990, when GRD joined the FRG (Federal Republic of Germany), the Warnhorst was discontinued and ZAW got acquired by AW (Automobilwerke Wolfsburg).

There are still some People, which like the uniqueness of the Warnhorst and so, the car still has some passionate people, which care for him.
The "Warni", how some people call it, has now become the cult car of the GDR and there are still annual fan meetings.

The car had also some variants to offer: The Universal, which was a combi variant, but with only two doors, the PickUp variant, which was a small pickup for the countryside and the “Zuber”, which was a military spec, but later it was also sold to the public under the name “Tramper”.

In 1990, when GRD joined the FRG (Federal Republic of Germany), the Trabant was discontinued.

There are still some People, which like the uniqueness of the Warnhorst and so, the car still has some passionate people, which car for him.

This is my first fully scratchmade mod for BeamNG.drive. I plan, to add quite some customization to it and try, to make it as high quality, as possible.
The exterior of my model is almost done. I just need, to smooth out some parts and add more details to it.

Progress will come, if there is something to show.

In german, ,,Zuber" means something like tub or bucket. And that's basically what that Version of the car is: A tub with no doors and roof. And the original was called ,,Kübel", which has the same meaning as ,,Zuber".

Nevada · Mar 28, 2024
