is it a rear engined rwd prototype, I don't think its a variant of the 721 Guigiaro design.

I know Bertone did quite a lot of work for Skoda. So could it be his design for the Favorit?

Don't think so. Bertone was in his cardboard period then (Favorit, Citroen BX)...

Yes, it's one of those vehicles - but which?. I asked a designer but the name or numerical designation of a factory prototype. (Czech nationality was a designer, not his surname).  :doh:

Sorry, I thought your question was "What is it?" and not "Who designed it?"

OK. While not guessed or type of Skoda. I wanted to make, type and designation, or who suggested it. What is it? The answer - the car.

It's the same car as your image. Is not it a pity to 720 ID (Italian Desing). I enclose a photo of this car. In my puzzle is the forerunner of this prototype. As I wrote from a Czech designer.
