We are not talking about a toy car.

The Trabant was a real car which had a steel unibody frame and the roof, hood, fenders and doors made of a hard plastic. It had two-stroke engine and its weight was 600 kg.

The production of the car lasted from 1957 to 1990 and more than 3 million cars were produced in East Germany over that period.
