The Wartburg 311 was a car built by the East German firm VEB Automobilwerk Eisenach from 1956 to 1965 and the first model to revive the Wartburg name. It was a development of the EMW 309, the car earlier known as the IFA F9, itself based on the DKW F9 planned for 1940. The pre-war architecture was kept, with the chassis lengthened by 10 cm to give a spacious four-door sedan body on a separate frame, which also let the factory offer pickup, coupe, estate and two-seat roadster versions. The 313-1 roadster, sold as the Wartburg Sport, was built from 1957 to 1960 in 469 examples. The two-stroke engine grew to 992 cc in 1962, exports began to West Germany in 1958, and the interim 312 followed from 1965.
