Laika 601 Deluxe

Introduction
The car is based on the real-world Trabant 601 (popularily known as the "Trabi" in the former Eastern Bloc), which was built by VEB Sachsenring in the German Democratic Republic (more commonly known as "East Germany")  between 1963 and 1990.

When you first start out, the car will be nothing more than an empty shell.

It will be up to you to use the stock parts in your garage provided to you by the game (and the man called Uncle) to rebuild the Laika and head out on the road.

Specifications:
0-80 km/h: 22 seconds claimed, 0-65 km/h in 24 seconds actual (with stock parts)

Top Speed: 80 km/h claimed, 65 km/h actual (with stock parts)

Car Components:
Engine Block – The main component of your car. Without it, your car will not move.

Air Filter –  A nonessential component of your car that will reduce wear on the engine.

Fuel Tank – Holds the fuel and oil mix of your car.

Carburetor – Delivers an air and fuel mixture to the engine's combustion chamber.

Water Tank – A nonessential component that holds the water that is used to clean the windshield.

Ignition Coil – Uses power from the battery to start the engine.

Battery – Provides power to the ignition coil and various electrical components.

Tires – Keep the wheels off the ground, and provide grip for the car.

As the player progresses, the parts of the car suffer damage from impact or wear and tear. Parts are repairable by way of repair kits. New car parts can be purchased at Laika shops in towns, or, rarely, abandoned Laikas by the side of the road, that have better performance compared to the stock parts provided at the beginning of the game.
