Skoda shows its Citigo Rally and DJ concept

At the largest tuning event featuring vehicles of the Volkswagen Group, Skoda Auto will show exciting concept cars. At an exhibition area of more than 600 square metres, the concept cars Skoda Citigo Rally and Skoda Citigo DJ Car will make their first appearance.

The village of Reifnitz is a traditional meeting place for tuning fans. Every year in May, one may experience the pure excitement about automobiles, this year being the 31st time the meeting is held. This meeting is counted among the largest and most important events of its kind. As the third largest brand of the Volkswagen Group, Skoda presents new model highlights to fans as well. For the concert highlight in the evening, Skoda has created a special surprise. The music produced by the almost 100,000 Watt strong sound equipment will be mixed by a DJ in a "Skoda DJ Car". This vehicle was especially designed by the Skoda design team for the car show at Worthersee. A team of journalists and Czech celebrities in special Skoda models will drive from Prague to the foothills of the Austrian Alps – among them the two Skoda rally champions Jan Kopecky and Juho Hanninen.

Besides the "Skoda Citigo Rally", another highlight is the appearance of the Skoda Citigo DJ Car. Its rear end widens behind the 'B' pillars to create an open stage for the DJ inside the car. The "Skoda Citigo DJ Car" will see live action when DJs put on dance music for several thousands of fans on the center stage at night.

The drive from Prague to Lake Worthersee is not about a fast highway trip down to Austria: Instead, participants such as the Skoda rally stars as well as Czech celebrities will have to perform various tasks during the course of the trip. Skoda Fans will be able to follow their results as well as the progress of the trip on the official Skoda Facebook page at www.facebook.com/skodaweb.
