project has legs, lets hope skoda don't just do it as one off concept car

 

would be a nice unique model and i am not aware of anything similar in th VAG range

 

 

The ŠKODA CitiJet is a dynamically and expressively-designed city convertible based on the ŠKODA Citigo. The exterior stands out with its striking metallic finish in blue and white, and sporty blue-finish 16-inch alloy wheels. There is also a hand-made rear spoiler and a powerful exhaust with two tailpipes. A 1.0 MPI petrol engine with 55 kW (75 hp) is to be found under the bonnet.

 

The sporty interior is based on the interior of the special edition ŠKODA Citigo Sport. This includes the red-hemmed, leather 3-spoke steering wheel, as well as the leather-covered handbrake and gearstick. The seat covers and floor mats are fitted out with the ‘Sports’ fabric design, and the instrument panel is finished in red and white. In addition, a special sound system has been installed with an output of 300 watts. The blue LED interior lighting system even responds to music.

They must have run out of money because the Serpens wheels would certainly offer a much better ride with with tyres fitted to them? :think:

a project like this would not make it to production without some changes

 

I suspect it would get some proper wheels and tyres (not the thickness of rubber bands) and possibly some of the gimmicks like the LED lights would not make it

 

but I think the basic idea is a good one and could possible open a whole new market for skoda,

 

but it depends if VW would allow them to make it, as I could see it appealing to the VW and AUDI customers, and they don't have anything like it, the problem with VW and AUDI is they are arrogant and think they can sell you what they think you want, Skoda allow you to have what YOU want, not what they want to sell
