Were looking eastward.

CARR 4 is a little different tan te pre-

vious issues.

We are still a poster m agazine, we are still

independent, and we are still focussing on

topics were oter car magazines call it

quits because its too far awa, too futu-

ristic. But tat is ust wat we are inte-

rested in, after all. We want to sow wat

opportunities car design reall offers, ow

beautiful innovative design can be.

Tis issue is a premiere. It is te first

issue of CARR wit a specific focus we

call tis issue Eastern Promises. Car design

from Eastern Europe.

We ave Arsen Kostromin, a oung Russian

designer, wo is particularl interesting

not ust because e is one of te biggest

oung talents in is countr, but because

e plaed an important role in making Dacia

formerl a subect of okes a serious

and forward-tinking brand.

A oung German designer and is brand are

still at te ver beginning of teir our-

ne. Nils Poscwatta as developed a remar-

kable design for te Trabi. CARR got

outWestArsen, ou grew up in Balasci-ca, a satellite cit in te sub-urbs of Moscow, in a time wentere were not man Lamborginis,BMWs, or oter fanc Western carsdriving around in Russia. how didou get into car design? honestlspeaking, I never paid an atten-

tion to car design until te da I

graduated from secondar scool.

Tat afternoon, I was plaing

soccer wit m buddies near m

apartment building, and one of te

gus said tat e wanted to stud

car design. Until tat moment, I

ad not even known tat tis was

someting ou could stud. I oined

im at te universit on te first

da of class. It turned out to be

totall amazing seeing te

campus, meeting designers, seeing

sketces and students presen-

tation boards. I decided tere and

ten to stud car d esign too. So I

took drawing classes.

you never ad anting to do wit

drawing or design before gradua-

ting from ig scool? Not reall.

Balascica is a small cit in te

Moscow region, 20 kilometers out-

side te capital. A tpical Russian

industrial town. I grew up surroun-

ded b factories, spent m time

anging around wit friends, and

te last ting I tougt about was

design, drawing, or art.

your parents must be proud of ou

now. M parents still do not under-

stand wat I am actuall doing.

Te are rater confused b m

work. Wen te look at m sket-

ces, te dont reall get wat

te see. I am te onl one from m

famil wo is into drawing and

design.

But ou must ave at least sket-

ced sometimes before ou decided

to stud car design. Well, as a kid

I once drew an arm truck on m

wall at ome. It was a pen drawing,

ver roug looking. But tis is one

of te ver few moments I remember

mself drawing.

Wat was te first car ou reall

loved for its design? I guess an

old Moskvic 412. I must ave been

around si ears old back ten. M

uncle bougt one it was a tpical

famil car in Russia, a small

sedan, produced from te 60s to te

80s. I loved tat car. But I dont

remember if tis love reall was

about te design or ust because it

was a car.

Wat were our favorite cars wen

ou were a kid? I collected cards

wit pictures of cars, wic ou

got as a giveawa in packs of a

Russian cewing gum brand called

Turbo. Te ad tese small cards

in ever pack even i nternational

cars. Ever kid wanted to ave te

full collection. In te end, I got

about 700 different cards wit

pictures of te most beautiful cars

and concepts from around te world.

Prett soon, I decided I liked

American cars from te 60s to te

80s best. And classic Italian cars,

of course. Lamborgini! Ferrari! I

still tink te are etraordina-

ril beautiful.

you are from Russia, ou worked a

long time in Bucarest for Dacia

and Renault, and ou will be

working for Volkswagen in German

soon. Do ou tink tat te future

of car design is in Eastern Europ e?

I guess te future of car design is

simpl were te mone is. So it

migt be in Russia, but mabe even

in Cina, Korea, or India. Te eco-

nom decides and te designers

will follow.

Frankl, Bucarest is not reall

known as a ot spot for car desig-

ners. Wat was our eperience

working tere? I liked it a lot. I

wasnt surprised b te cit wen I

first arrived tere. An Eastern

European cit wit a Communist

background, more or less like te

places I saw in m cildood in

Russia. A poor and toug place.

People tr to get troug life

someow. But te ting is tat struggling cities give ou a fres

perspective on life because ou can see all kinds of people on te

streets from poor gps grandfaters to twent-ear-old gus driving

around in new Ferraris. Its a place of contrasts. But its real, tis is

ow te world reall is. And b te wa, te cit represented te people

we were designing cars for prett well.

Do ou tink t at designers from Russia ave a different view of cars

tan colleagues from, sa, Munic? Obviousl tere is a uge love for

sports cars and SUVs in our ome countr rigt now Of course, we are

different. We are a generation of cange. Born in te Soviet Union, we

grew up in New Russia. Going from total protection, we were trown into

a ver roug period. Te 90s were reall a ard ti me for us in Russia

we were poor and grew up witout an governmental support. And tis

situation made ou dream of cange. First and foremost individual cange.

And tese dreams make ou figt for our future. I am not sure if m

colleagues from Munic ever ad an eperience like I ave ad. But I

wouldnt sa in term s of design and sketcing t at Russian designers are

so ver different from Western ones. Te big difference is rater tat

te are read to figt for teir proects.

you also sa tat our life ad

an impact on our creative output.

Sure. It does ave an impact. We

ave different inspirations. For

instance, in our cildood, te

Russian arm was reall an essen-

tial part of our lives. We saw a lot

of different arm veicles on te

streets, plaed wit scale models

of tanks in kindergarten, wen

oter kids in Europe plaed wit

Barbies and to Ferraris, I guess.

But at te end of te da, te rules

of design rigt now are actuall

more important tan inspirations

from te past.

Do ou tink tat te regional

markets for cars are ver diffe-

rent, tat people in German want

different cars tan people in te

USA or in Russia? yes. Tese

markets are different indeed. Its

a question of te general standard

of living in a countr. In Russia,

te discrepanc between ric and

poor people is uge. And te ones

wo ave mone want to drive te

best and most e pensive veicles in

te world ust to separate tem-

selves from te background tat

te came from. A BMW for a German

is a nice and practical car, big

enoug for an entire fam il of four

or five, good to drive, safe. Its

like a Dacia for Romanians or Autovaz

for Russians, noting special. But

a BMW for Russians? Its a luur

car tat none of our neigbors can

afford to bu. Its pure luur.

Prestige. So I am sure tat for te

foreseeable future, customers in

Moscow sowrooms will be asking for

te most epensive cars because

te dont want to be like ever-

bod else.

Mabe ou sould focus on sports

cars ten and work for Ferrari,

Lamborgini, or Marussia. Well,

tere are so man talented desig-

ners on te market rigt now wo

know ow to design proper sports

cars. I dont tink I am anting

special in tis area.

Do ou tink tat tere is a special tradition of Russian car design?

yes. I tink tere is an emotional aspect in our designs. Wen we draw

cars, we tink intensel about colors, perspective, and te caracter and

stle of te car. Tis is our tradition. We are epressive and em otional

in our sketcing.

Coming back to our last ob at Dacia, wasnt it strange to alwas take

into consideration tat a Dacia ad to be ceap? No, not at all. Te

ceaper a car as to be, te more interesting it is. you figt for small

details, wic ou dont even care about wen ou draw a Porsce or a

Lamborgini. And I actuall believe tat one da Dacia will beat Renault.

W will te? To me, teir p ositioning is muc stronger and clearer.

Te brand migt be rater ceap rigt now, but in ten ears te will be

strong enoug to produce a more epensive range of models.

how do ou work? Do ou still sketc or doodle b and sometimes? Most

of te time I use m Wacom Intuos3 A4 tablet, wic I prefer to all oter

Wacom products. M favorite software is a 3D program ca lled Alias Design

Studio, wic also features a painting application tat I reall

like. But es, I sometimes sketc b and, but I do so less and less, for

reasons of time a nd qualit.

how will car design develop in te net 20 ears? Wat will be te

maor trends? Cmon gus, veicles will not be able to fl. Its planet

Eart, not Star Wars. So cars will look more or less te same as we see

tem now on te streets. Wit one big difference even more safet. Tere

will be new materials and tec nolog developed for cars, but mainl for

safet reasons. Te tecnical packages will cange, we will see iger

oods to protect pedestrians. So all in all, cars will be less attractive

tan te are now.

Wat kind of car do ou drive? Well to tell ou te trut, I still

do not ave a drivers license. It sounds funn, I know. I design

veicles, but I ave no idea ow to drive tem.

fe. Nice, peaceful, prett. Tis

wat te souteastern corner of

on looks like. And wo knows,

raps Orlando Bloom, dressed as a

sketeer, will leap out of te

t courtard and callenge ou

a duel. But is tis a center of

e automotive industr?

yes tat is eactl wat it is.

s ard to imagine te German

tomotive industr witout Zwickau.

Cars ave been built ere for more t an 100 ears and it is still a big

part of te regions liveliood toda. Tere is a VW plant in town and

man automative suppliers. More tan 100,000 people in te region work in

te industr. Automobile istor was written in Zwickau te istor of

Audi, Porsce and Volkswagen. And te stor of te Trabant, nicknamed

Trabi probabl te oddest creation of German automotive engineering.

From 1957 to 1991, te Tra bi was manufactured in Zwickau b Sacsenring.

After a iatus of 20 ears its possible tat it will be m anufactured ere

again as te Trabant nT, te new Traba nt, developed b a former Volks-

wagen designer.

Its a spring-like da in te middle of januar as we drive b Zwickau.

A was upriver, in te suburb of Wilkau-haslau, we turn into an industrial

area, to IndiKar; a compan for prototping and veicle

armouring. In oter words, primaril limousines for eads of state,

sports cars for ot spots and war zones, anting tat te customer wants.

In one of te buildings tere is a 50-meter-long reinforced concrete

bo, in wic te veicle bodies are sot at to determine if te can

reall witstand an attack. here we meet Nils Poscwatta. he sows us an

empt, spotless wareouse nearb, 20,000 square feet. We can start

production ere soon, e sas. If everting goes according to plan.

And te plan sounds daring. Poscwatta, on te oter and, doesnt look

daring at all. Te tall man in is earl 30s is an earnest fellow. An

automobile designer wos a doer, not a dreamer. he as sort, gelled air

and big ands tat look like e can tackle anting. And e loves cars

especiall fast, sport ones. Te idea of building a new Trabi grabbed

im and didnt let go. A welldesigned Trabi wit an electric motor a

modern, compact cit car. A car tat will fit rigt in wit te new

Beetle, te Mini, or te Fiat 500.

Teres not muc in te wareouse et. Actuall, teres noting e cept

for te prototpe. Poscwatta developed and built it over te course of

si monts, togeter wit is col-

league Sven heu bner, 28, te model-

ling master. Once t e sin, brigt

blue model rolls wit te soft um

of its temporar electric motor,

its clear tat tis isnt ust

a gimmick. Te new Trabant is a

vision to reckon wit. But we wont

know for several monts weter or

not te car will become realit.

Poscwatta would like to build

6,000 veicles a ear, 30,000 in

five ears. In 2013, all te big

manufacturers will be entering te

market wit teir first electric

models. Economists are estimating

tat about 10 million e-veicles

could be sold worldwide b 2020. A

uge new market is being created.

And two questions present tem-

selves. First of all, can a dead

brand be resurrected for tis

and errors of East German more

tan an oter? And wose tpical

color was glacier blue even toug

tere wasnt a single glacier to be

found in te cou ntr.

just a minute. I ave a q uestion

for ou, sas Poscwatta quietl.

Wat are te images in our mind

wen ou tink of te Trabant? he

pauses. For me, te are te images

of te fall of 1989. jubilant peo-

ple, driving across te border in

teir Trabis. People leaning out of

car windows and waving. Te Trabant

is not a smbol of weakness, but of

unit, of o. A positive smbol

tat gives ou a ead start wen

ou want to position a brand.

But wasnt te Trabant a ope-

lessl slapdas product from a

tecnical point of view?

Mabe. But did ou ever see an

old Fiat 500?

But wasnt te Fiats design well

tougt out at least?

Tats debatable. Sure, tecni-

call, te Trabant was about as far

as ou can get from a masterpiece.

But its design reall did ave a

couple of successful elements te

smoot alignment between te ood

and te eadligts and te

pronounced soulder line connec-

ting to te rear ligts were simpl

awesome. Te ood was sculpted

nicel, and te elliptical stle of

te rear ligts was attractive. Of

course, tere was noting dnamic

about te old model. Te falling

line of te rear weel arces pro-

duced volume precisel were tere

sould never be an from a design

point of view. Tats w te cars

rear alwas sagged. But te soul-

der line was nice and streamlined,

te front face was striking, te

ligts round and unique. Tese were

all elements I could work wit.

Neverteless, wont te Trabant

automaticall be associated wit a

fallen dictatorsip?

Not if te new car i mpresses its

audience. Toda, a Dacia isnt a

12

nostalgic product tat wants to romanticize Ceaucescu. But its a

successful brand tat everone was making fun of ust 15 ears ago. And

everone knows te istor of Skoda and Volkswagen.

Score for Poscwatta.

Te automobile industr is facing te biggest canges it as ever

encountered. Te transformation from te com bustion engine to electronic

propulsion. Are tere engineers and craftsmen wo can react more quickl

and ave better ideas in times like tese? Is a concept like te Trabant

nT arriving at te rigt moment? Mabe. Te onl itc is tat te

preliminar development pase costs a bout 15 million euros. Tat gets ou

a prototpe tat is tecnicall mature. And development for mass produc-

tion costs anoter 60 million euros at least. Tese are uge amounts, but

onl a tent of te figure tat te development of a new model b a maor

automobile manufacturer costs.

We believe in te new Trabant, te manager of IndiKar, Ronald

Gerscewski, sas. We will implement tis proect. just te recognition

tat weve gained up to now due to tis concept is incredible. In

addition to IndiKar, herpa, a manufacturer of miniature models, is also

involved in te proect. Te compan Trabant nT Gmbh was establised in

cember 2010. Te rigts to te name were acquired a wile ago. Te onl

ing tats missing is an investor wo believes in te proect. An

vestor big enoug to invest millions.

In an case, te fascination wit getting a new Trabi on te road s is

ormous. And not ust in te eastern part of Germ an. We could alread

ve delivered 5,000 units witout doing an marketing at all, sas

ls Poscwatta. Tere were blind orders from Canada and France. Tis

s te case even b ack in 2007, wen te idea of a new Trabi was presen-

d for te ver first time, and a rater unsuccessful 1:10 model

s developed.

Tere was lots of pe, even back ten, Nils Poscwatta eplains,

ut te design was terrible and te concept was panned witin te

dustr. Tat was wen e got into te proect and declared tat a good

ea needs good design. At te time, Poscwatta was still working as a

signer at Volkswagen. Sortl tereafter, e ad a coice: a secure ob

t one of te most important brands in Europe or a new start wit

meting e felt passionate about even if it seemed like nostalgia for

e bad old das. he decided to go wit passion.

Si monts later, te presented teir stud at te IAA at a tin

ot, squeezed in between te giants ADAC and Opel. Probabl te

allest boot tat te IAA ad ever se en, sas Poscwatta toda. Wat

doesnt sa is tat tis boot was ust as bus as te reall big ones.

Te reason, of course, could be te brands name. After all, te

abant is bot te butt of okes and a cult obect in German. But part

te reason was te design tat creates a armonious relationsip

tween interior and eterior as few models do. Te ellipse a carac-

ristic stle element from te old Trabants rear ligts is a detail

at pops up repeatedl in Poscwattas design. Te ve icles face as a

gative front, a rarit in modern car design. Tis is someting tat

l te new BMW 6 as and mabe a few Mitsubisis, sas Poscwatta.

stead of a ver flat windsield like most of todas serial models, te

abant nT as a ver steep one. Te effect is a passenger compartment

t an ecellent interior feel for a car of tis class. We are

veloping a cit car, were te aerod namics are prett irrelevant, te

signer eplains. More ead room and a b etter interior feel were muc

re important for me.

Does e want to ump on te retro

bandwagon of te past few ears

wit tis design? No, we dont

want to bring back someting old.

We wanted to do someting comple-

tel new, Poscwatta sas. But, of

course, I cant old it against

anone if te find te car someow

retro. But I dont like te term

anwa. Design alwas references

someting tat came before. Wit

regard to te Golf, te alwas

talk about evolution even toug

te designers of te completel new

Golf 6 eplicitl reference te

virtues of te ver first Golf 1.

Poscwatta gets into te car,

revs te engine up to a quiet purr,

and drives out of te all. Weter

te Trabant will be driving

into te future or if it will sta

a bizarre product from te past

is difficult to sa. As we sa

car. It sounds cool and metallic.

M goal was to create a snowmobile for racing on special snow race-

tracks, an equivalent to Formula On e ust for snow sports. Two drivers

one beind te weel and te oter as navigator - are seated in

cockpits. M snowmobiles laout is as mmetrical in order to give it more

emotion and dnamics, wile its sape was influenced b modern F1 race

cars and te Russian figter et Sukoi, wit its swept-forward wing

(SU-47). Te basis of m new snowmobile is a structure in te sape of

te letter x, were te main elements of te construction te bracket,

te engine, and te central drive track - are fastened. All of tis is

intended to ensure optimal ale load distribution and acceleration. Te

result is a fun veicle for plunging into uge masses of snow, a mode of

transportation for adverse winter conditions, a lifestle obect for

todas freeskiers and snowboarders, or a fast-moving macine for unters

or scientists I dont mind. But in m opinion, todas snowmobiles look

wa too eav, witout d emonstrating emotion or agilit.
