Mladá Boleslav, 8 October 2021 – In 1972, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) merged the B5 and B6 classes into the B5 class for vehicles with a maximum engine capacity of 3,000 cm3.
In the Czechoslovak championship, the engine capacity limit was changed to 2,000 cm3 , which prompted the then state-owned company AZNP (Automobilové závody, národní podnik; today ŠKODA brand) to start developing an open two-seater for circuit and hill climb #racing.
In addition to the complete selection of images accompanying this press release, the ŠKODA Storyboard also offers a 32-page brochure and a comprehensive selection of articles and features on various topics from 120 years of ŠKODA Motorsport.
Except for the distinctive aluminium body, which could be folded up at the front and rear, the designers mainly used modified parts from the ŠKODA 110 L series model to build the ŠKODA SPIDER B5. The four-cylinder engine with OHC valve control was a prototype from the
ŠKODA 720 and produced 150 hp. The basic version of this was intended for new ŠKODA models of a traditional design. The SPIDER B5’s engine was mounted in front of the rear axle.
