This streamlined prototype caused a sensation at its world premiere at the Prague Motor Show in 1935. Its aesthetic, aerodynamically optimised contours caught the attention of the public, as did the vehicle’s unusual technical features.

Thanks to its sophisticated aerodynamics, the prototype achieved an exceptionally low drag coefficient of cw=0.37 as early as 1935. The expertise that the engineers gained in this area with the 935 Dynamic was incorporated into the design of the series models that followed shortly afterwards, such as the Škoda Popular Monte Carlo of 1936 and the “motorway version” of the Škoda Rapid 1500 OHV presented in 1939.

The 935s boxer engine, a water-cooled four-cylinder engine with a displacement of two litres has opposing cylinders and is mounted in front of the rear axle as a rear-centre engine. In this way, the designers lowered the vehicle’s centre of gravity, which had a positive effect on driving performance. The engine has an output of 55 hp and accelerates the 935 Dynamic with a wheelbase of 3200 mm to speeds of up to 130 km/h.

Another innovative feature is the electromagnetic four-speed gearbox from the French manufacturer Cotal, which enables semi-automatic gear changes with its preselector.

Only 1 935 Dynamic was ever made and Škoda sold the vehicle as a used car to a private buyer in 1939, and repurchased it from the same individual in the 1960s.  Three years ago, the museum workshop completed the meticulous restoration of this unique vehicle, which has been among the highlights of the Škoda Museum in Mladá Boleslav ever since.
