Specifications Skoda 130 RS Coupe 1978 blueprint

The Skoda 130 RS Coupe, a truly classic and unique car, first presented in 1978, is a sight to behold. It is a two door, 22 coupe with a sleek, stylish exterior design that harkens back to its glorious roots that date back to the days of Prague in the 1970s. The front grille has the classic radiator design, with the Skoda name badge proudly emblazoned at the centre. The bonnet is distinctive with its pronounced curves and creases. At the back of the car, the curved window frames are framed with chrome trim and the iconic RS logo. The low-slung profile, wide wheelbase, and small exterior size set it apart from all other cars of its time. Its interior is just as eye-catching, featuring its original maroon velour upholstery, often with contrasting stitching, and a classic four-spoke, round-rimmed steering wheel. On the dash, the center console contains the radio, heater, and other controls, along with clear, basic orange lighting. An original speedometer and rev-counter adds to the classic feel, completed with aluminum knobs and black paneling around the edges. The Skoda 130 RS Coupe is powered by a 1.3 litre, four-cylinder engine which produces around 70bhp. Its performance (with quite a bit of input from the driver) was remarkable for its time, capable of reaching a top speed of 155 km/h. Over the years, it has become increasingly collectable, and can still be seen out on the roads today, bringing a touch of old-school nostalgia wherever it goes.
