Sachsenring P240

Automobiles

The Horch P240, also called the Sachsenring P240, was a luxury car built by VEB Kraftfahrzeugwerk Horch Zwickau in East Germany between 1955 and 1959. Early pre-production cars can be recognised by a grille that is divided in two and has vertical bars. The model figured in a Comecon dispute over luxury car output: Czechoslovakia's Tatra was building more than the limit of 300 units a year, so in 1958 the two countries held trials, which the Tatra 603 won. East Germany's higher communist officials then began to drive the T603, while lower officials had to use imports from the USSR, especially the Volga.
