Much like he did in 2004 (Athens), 2008 (Beijing), and 2010 (Vancouver), 65-year-old German actor Rolf Becker recently drove his famous Trabant from Madgeburg to Sochi to attend the 2014 Winter Olympics -- a trip of nearly 3,000 kilometres.
The iconic Trabant was built in East Germany from 1957-1991 by VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau. Capable of reaching speeds of 90 km/h thanks to a 26-horsepower engine, it mainly stood out with body panels made of Duroplast composite material.
