The subject of this diploma thesis is the analysis and comparison of three-cylinder two-stroke engines with a displacement of 1000 cm3 of the Wartburg 353. The introduction of the thesis is a research that discusses the history of car production and development in Eisenach during the second half of the 20th century. The main subject of research is the engine, to which the vast majority of work is devoted. Using the available simulation tools, the cylinder pressure indication is determined, the crankshaft of the two engine variants is subjected to balance analysis, dynamic analysis in terms of torsional vibrations and bearing load is performed using the MBS method, then the two variants are compared
