First introduced in June 1966, the Wartburg 353 was the creation of the former German BMW production facilities (called EMW under Soviet occupation). Its origins were ultimately derived from a 1938 DKW design and powered by a two-stroke engine with only seven major moving parts: three pistons, three connecting rods and a crankshaft.
The engine was enlarged to 992 cc in 1962 and a completely new body was manufactured after 1966.

It remained on sale until 1976, by which time nearly 20,000 had been sold.
