STORY
The 1.3 replaced the two-stroke engine of the Wartburg 353 with the 1.3-litre four-cylinder engine of the second-generation Volkswagen Polo, rated at 58 PS. Under a 1984 agreement, IFA assembled the engine under licence at the Barkas plant in Karl-Marx-Stadt. Production ran from October 1988 to April 1991, and the Eisenach company was dissolved after German reunification.
