The book is primarily dedicated to the Favorit \u2013 the first production car from the \u0160koda brand with front-wheel drive, which the Mlad\u00e1 Boleslav-based carmaker developed in close cooperation with the Italian bodywork company Bertone and the Porsche development center. It was presented to the public in September 1987 at the engineering fair in Brno.
\nThe publication recalls its somewhat complicated origin and its role in the process of the modern emancipation of the Mlad\u00e1 Boleslav car manufacturer, when it became the fourth brand of the Volkswagen Group in April 1991. It clearly maps the changes that the \u0160koda Favorit, Forman and Pick-up cars underwent during their active careers from 1987 to 1995, and recalls the diverse range of their variants and projects that did not make it into production.
\nMotorsport enthusiasts will be delighted by the overview of activities with modified \u0160koda Favorit cars in car competitions, circuit races and hillclimbs. The text containing technical data of individual models and an overview of production and export is accompanied by 430 archive photographs, many of which have not been published before.<\/p>\n
