ARO 240: Der Geländewagen, den Rumänien exportierte — aber nicht verkaufte

ARO 240: The SUV Romania Exported—But Never Sold 90% of all Aro production left Romania. It was exported to over 110 countries on five continents. Military, forestry, mountain rescue, rally teams—they all used it. The Romanian population barely got a look in. The ARO 240 wasn't a bad car. It was one of the most advanced SUVs in the Eastern Bloc—with independent front suspension when Blazers and Broncos still had solid axles. It won rallies. It was built and driven in Portugal, Spain, and East Germany. And in the end, it even experimented with Cosworth engines and Land Rover seats. It didn't die because it was bad. It died because the Romanian government sold it in 2003 for $180,000 to someone who never intended to save it. That's the story of the Balkan Goat. 00:00 The 90% Question 02:15 Câmpulung — A City Builds a Car 05:30 The ARO 240: Technology, Humor, Character 08:45 90 Countries, But Not at Home 11:20 Ceaușescu's Prisoners 13:40 The End in Câmpulung #CarHistory #BalkanGoat #ARO240    • Maschinen, die Deutschland bewegten!
