My favourite old Skoda is one I never heard of... Ferat Vampire RSR

Anyway, this triggered a memory I had a few weeks ago when I took my daughter to the children's car museum. It was run by the Favourit group in Moscow, but it had soviet pedal cars, and proper soviet cars.
I was looking through all the photographs and I saw a Skoda I had never seen before.Earlier I was reading a very interesting post by @ahmetay and his admiration for the Skoda brand, especially when comes to the new Skoda Fabia. It truly looks to be a great new addition to the Range. My brother's girlfriend has a black edition Fabia Monte Carlo, and she seems to be over the moon with it, but she hopes to put it up for sale soon.

Ths Skoda had the nickname 'Ferat'.

In normal Skoda language, it was called the Skoda Supersport 110, which I believe only made it to the concept stage, but they made a special version called the Ferat, for a horror film called Vampire from Ferat (Upír z Feratu) many years later. I believe it never made it out of concept stage for many reasons, and they didn't have a serious power plant which would suit it.

Here is a clip I found on youtube, do you like it. I love the front end view :)
