Škoda Revives 1000 MBX as Brutalist-Inspired Electric Concept

The digital study tests space-saving packaging cues drawn from a rare 1960s two-door’s essence.

Overview

  • Unveiled in Škoda’s Icons Get a Makeover series, the 1000 MBX exists as a detailed 3D concept with no production program announced.
  • Designers Antti Savio and David Stingl cite brutalist influences and aim for an elegant, everyday‑usable 2+2 rather than a retro remake or overt sports car.
  • Split sliding side panels enable pillarless access, while a flat EV floor allows a sculpted front bench and a console‑free cabin.
  • Cinema‑style rear seats tip up to create substantial cargo space, with a rear‑view camera replacing a conventional rear window to extend the hatch opening.
  • Features include air suspension, a glass‑covered projection dashboard and subtle nods to the original 1966–1969 MBX, which saw just 2,517 units built.
