Škoda Reimagines 1960s MBX as Electric Concept in Digital Reveal

Škoda frames the study as a heritage-inspired design exercise with no production plans.

Overview

  • The 1000 MBX appears as a 3D render in the brand’s Icons Get a Makeover series rather than a production preview.
  • Designers Antti Savio and David Stingl focused on preserving the original coupe’s elegance and everyday usability over aggressive sportiness.
  • Packaging centers on a 2+2 layout with a flat-floor EV platform, a console-free cabin with a sculpted front bench, and pillarless access for easier entry.
  • Flexible storage includes cinema-style rear seats that fold upward to create space large enough for an adult bicycle, aided by the omission of a conventional rear window and the use of a rear-view camera.
  • Technical highlights include standard air suspension for raising the car on rough roads or for loading, plus subtle nods to the original such as raised headlights, a signature character crease, and a distinctive C-pillar.
