Thinking Inside the Box: The Trabant nT Concept

Electric, electric, electric — the whole world is going electric! It is probable that Herpa Miniaturmodelle GmbH, a little known company that specializes in creating full sized models, counts on this fact.
The company is responsible for this boxy little wonder, which is entirely electric. The Trabant nT concept was debuted at Frankfurt’s famed IAA.
The vehicle is a more modernized interpretation of the original, classic model, which reached popularity when the Berlin Wall came down. Say what you will about the car, but I can totally dig something that symbolic.
As many have pointed out, the nT concept is very evocative of the 1960s Volkswagen Squareback. I say bravo for that. I love VW and, perhaps strangely, I absolutely adore square, boxy vehicles.
Ergo, I would love to see this stateside.
