The Skoda 860 made its appearance on October 23, 1929 at the Prague Motor Show. Number 860 indicated the number of cylinders (8) and the power of 60 bhp produced by the 3880cc engine, which was associated with a three-speed transmission. The car's performance was very good at the time: despite weighing almost two tons, the 860 reached 110 km / h, well proving the technical level reached by Skoda in the 1930s. However, its diffusion was limited by the critical economic context and only about fifty exemplars were actually produced.
