The AWZ P70 Zwickau was a small family car built in East Germany by VEB Automobilwerke Zwickau between 1955 and 1959. It succeeded the IFA F8 and kept its 684 cc two-cylinder two-stroke engine, which produced 22 PS (16 kW), but had a completely new Duroplast body on a wooden frame with a plywood floor. The saloon arrived in 1955, followed by an estate in 1956 and a coupe in 1957, and after the Chevrolet Corvette it was one of the first cars built with an all plastic body. In 1958 AWZ was united with the former Horch factory to form VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau and the car became the Sachsenring P70. The Trabant P 50 replaced it in 1959 after 36,151 had been built.
