Škoda: station wagons, prototypes and motorsport 🎥
TRADITION AND FUTURE The Škoda Museum in Mladá Boleslav and the Ferdinand Porsche Birthplace in Liberec-Vratislavice are popular destinations for visitors from home and abroad - and you can enjoy it all virtually.
One of the videos describes Škoda's developments in international motorsport.
However, annotated video tours in Czech and English also enable a virtual visit. New episodes have now been added to the series. Experts from the museum comment on various exhibitions with different thematic focuses.
The video "Tradition", for example, provides information on the background to Škoda's corporate history and focuses on the development of the company logo or the significance of selected models.
History of successful station wagons
During the virtual tour, viewers also learn about the history of the brand's successful station wagons. The film "Depot - prototype and sports car collection" presents very special exhibits located in the former foundry of the car manufacturer.
Here you can also see the Ferat coupe, which fascinated viewers 40 years ago in the horror film "The Car Vampire" (original title: "Upír z Feratu"). The car is based on the Škoda 110 Super Sport, which debuted in its original version back in 1971. The guided tour also provides an insight into the development of various series-production vehicles on the basis of concept cars.
Special show 120 years of Škoda Motorsport
In addition to these exhibits from the permanent exhibition, a separate video tour presents the current special exhibition "120 Years of Škoda Motorsport," which is on display at the museum until March 20. In 1901, a motorcycle from Mladá Boleslav competed in an international race for the first time.
Ferdinand Porsche as an entrepreneur
Also new are three video tours of the house where Ferdinand Porsche was born in Vratislavice. The films present, among other things, the modern concept of the exhibition, which is dedicated to the tradition of technology and industry.
The life of Ferdinand Porsche and his work as an entrepreneur are further focal points. As a special exhibit, the Auto Union pre-war racing car with a 16-cylinder engine is on display until the end of March 2022.
The new video tours complement the existing ones entitled "Evolution," "Precision," "Technology Gallery" and "In the Sign of Electromobility." The videos are available at this link.
