So were DKW and SAAB. Dunno how bad the Trabi motors were, you'd think the same country that produced the Praktika and Exakta cameras, and Zeiss Jena lenses could manage a precision zweitakt engine, but of course they did previously and very well indeed.

And the SAABs were 3-cylinder engines. Pretty unusual though not, I think, unique.

What about the DAF? They were air-cooled 2-cylinders with a weird belt-driven infinitely variable transmission but I don't remember whether they were 2 or 4 stroke.
