The Wartburg 353 was very agile for his time, powered by displacement 1-liter 3-cylinder unit that took nearly two decades to refine While developing the 55-57 bhp according carburetor-type engine design its two-stroke provided more than 100 Nm torque 106 Nm in the last version of typical figure for the engine entirely to four times more at that time, it has accelerated the less your vehicle pretty decently, even by modern standard transmission was fitted with a freewheel obviating the need to use the clutch between the speeds This proved so popular with owners it has become almost symbolic of 353, and the gear lever on the column Designed management as a measure of energy efficiency and as a means to protect the engine oil starvation, the device turned off the engine brake; the car effectively rubbed whenever the throttle was released drivers were able to turn the freewheeling off by a switch under the steering column to take advantage of the useful engine braking because the front brakes were prone to overheating and fading However, most drivers off the freewheeling, because he made changing gears much easier and smoother, but not faster.
