This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.170.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 July 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Wartburg 311''' is a car produced by [[East Germany|East German]] car manufacturer [[Automobilwerk Eisenach|VEB Automobilwerk Eisenach]] from 1956 to 1965. The 311 model was manufactured in a number of variations, including pickup, sedan, [[limousine]], coupé, and as a two-seat roadster. The [[two-stroke engine]] was enlarged to 992&nbsp;cc in 1962. An interim model, called the '''Wartburg 312''' and featuring the chassis developed for the succeeding [[Wartburg 353|353]], was built from 1965 until 1967.

==Background==
Production of the Wartburg 311 was already underway at [[Eisenach]] by the end of 1955. The car was a development of the existing EMW 309. This was the car previously identified as the [[IFA F9]], which, in turn, had been based on the 1940 [[DKW F9]] scheduled for launch in 1940 until the [[World War II|Second World War]] intervened.

==The car==
The basic architecture of the pre-war design, acquired from [[Zwickau]]-based [[Auto Union]], was retained, albeit with the chassis lengthened by 10&nbsp;cm, which combined with long overhangs to create a larger car with a relatively spacious four-door sedan/saloon body.

The name "Wartburg" came from the very first model (''Wartburgwagen'') produced in 1898 at the [[Automobilwerk Eisenach]] factory, three decades before that company was acquired by [[BMW]], and nearly five decades before the plant's location, following the defeat of [[Nazi Germany|Third Reich]], in the [[Soviet occupation zone]] placed it under state control. The "311" designation followed the tradition of the plant's previous owner, BMW, whose Eisenach-produced passenger cars had all been identified by a three-digit number starting with a "3".

The use of a separate chassis facilitated the adaptation of the car to a range of differing body shapes. On the other hand, the use of a separate chassis with the frame rails running under the passenger compartment's floor during a period when automakers elsewhere in Europe were increasingly standardizing on [[Vehicle frame#Unibody|self-supporting]] car bodies, left the Wartburg approach looking increasingly dated, and also added to the car's height, while "low-long-sleek" was becoming the order of the day in car styling.

The 313-1 was a two-seat roadster, sold as the Wartburg Sport, built from 1957 until 1960. Of 469 cars that were built, about one-third were exported to the United States.<ref name=ostalgie>((cite web | url = http://motorostalgie.de/hersteller/eisenach/veb-automobilwerk-eisenach | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20170816040821/http://motorostalgie.de/hersteller/eisenach/veb-automobilwerk-eisenach | publisher = motorostalgie | title = VEB Automobilwerk Eisenach | language = German | archivedate = 2017-08-16 ))</ref> A plethora of other body styles were available, including a rare four-door military utility roadster, coupés, and several station wagon versions.

==Export markets==
Exports of the Wartburg 311 to [[West Germany]] beginning in 1958, and by the early 1960s the car was exported to many other countries, including the United Kingdom and United States. In all, 737 right-hand-drive 311s were built from 1961 until 1964.<ref name=ostalgie/>

== Argentinian production ==
In [[Argentina]] a small two-door sedan with small, two-stroke two- and four-cylinder engines had been built by [[Industrias Aeronáuticas y Mecánicas del Estado|IAME]] in [[Córdoba, Argentina|Córdoba]] between 1952 and 1955 as the [[IAME Justicialista|Justicialista]]. After the [[Revolución Libertadora|1955 coup d'état]], IAME was renamed DINFIA.<ref name=Grac>((cite web | url = http://www.cocheargentino.com.ar/j/justicialista.htm#graciela | title = I.A.M.E. - D.I.N.F.I.A. (Córdoba): Graciela | language = Spanish | date = 2009-05-18 | work = Coche Argentino ))</ref> From 1956 it was equipped with the 901&nbsp;cc engine from the Wartburg 311, it looked mostly the same, but its name was changed to Graciela. It was built in 2280 examples until 1961.<ref name=Grac/> Pickup and van versions were also available. From 1962 the local bodywork was replaced with that of the four-door Wartburg 311; this was sold as the Graciela W. It retained the same engine, and 646 were built until 1964.<ref name=GrcW>((cite web | url = http://www.cocheargentino.com.ar/j/justicialista.htm#gracielaw | title = I.A.M.E. - D.I.N.F.I.A. (Córdoba): Graciela W | language = Spanish | work = Coche Argentino ))</ref>

==Replacement==
The succeeding, boxier [[Wartburg 353|353]] model was to receive a modernized chassis with independently coil sprung wheels, with a significantly better ride.<ref name=ostalgie/> Before the arrival of the 353, there was an interim model, the '''Wartburg 312''' (September 1965&nbsp;– March 1967). It had the updated chassis and also had smaller 13-inch wheels. The chassis also no longer needed regular lubrication. The 353 parts were gradually installed in the 312 as they were ready, meaning that later models were equipped with the ((convert|50|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on)) engine, rather than the ((convert|45|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on)) unit from the 311. Some were also equipped with disc brakes at the front. Some enthusiasts replace the body of a 353 with the body of a 311 on the same chassis, which does not require major modifications, thus making a more old-fashioned car with modern underpinnings. The smoother riding 312 is very popular in the German veteran car scene today for precisely those reasons.<ref name=ostalgie/>

The 312 continued to be available with a wide variety of body styles until the late-1966 arrival of the 353, after which only the estate and the station wagon remained on sale. As with the 353 Tourist, these models were built by the ''VEB Karosseriewerk Halle'', rather than in the Eisenach main plant.
