The '''Škoda 130/135/136''' were three of six variations of a [[rear-engined]] car (the other three being the [[Škoda 105/120| Skoda 105/120/125]]) that was produced by Czech car manufacturer [[Škoda Auto]] in [[Mladá Boleslav]], [[Czechoslovakia]] between [[1984]] and [[1990]]. |
|||
== Earlier models == |
|||
The very first '''Škoda 130''' models were introduced in August 1984. Developed from the earlier [[Škoda 105/120]] models (some of which continued in production alongside the Škoda 130 models), the 130 series had a 1289cc engine that produced 58bhp, 5-speed gearbox, semi-trailing arm rear suspension, wider track and four-pot front brake disc calipers (the last two of which were also fitted to the later Škoda 105/120 models). |
|||
These new models silenced the earlier criticism that had been made in some quarters of tail-happy handling, with the prominent UK motoring magazine "Autocar and Motor" remarking in 1988 that the new 136 Rapid model "handles like a [[Porsche 911]]". |
|||
The 130 range consisted of the 130 L and 130 GL saloons and 130 Rapid coupe respectively (these models being equivalent to the 120 LS and 120 GLS saloons and 120 Rapid coupe). For the UK market, the models were available in both 4-door 'Estelle' saloon (130 only) and 2 door Rapid Coupe (both 130 and 136, and ultimately 135 models) and a lot of the new features were the result of Skodas rally programme of the 70s and 80s. An after market [[cabriolet]] version was also available. The cars were very competitive on price and helped Skoda to new sales records in Western Europe in the late 1980s. |
