The Škoda 110 Super Sport (type 724) was a prototype sports car with rear engine and rear wheel drive, development took place in 1969-1971 and a prototype was produced in 1971.[1]

The car had an aerodynamic body made of fiberglass, there were six flip-up headlights in front, and behind it there was space for luggage and a spare wheel. The doors flipped up along with the windshield and roof. In the rear part of the car there was an engine - an in-line four-cylinder from the Škoda 110 L Rallye. For testing purposes, a more powerful 1147 cm³ engine was temporarily installed in the car. There were 16 round lights on the rear end, 6 in the upper row at the edge of three and 10 in the lower row across the entire width of the car.[2]

A single specimen was produced in Kvasiny, which was white in color. It was introduced in 1972 at the Brussels Motor Show. Despite the public interest, it did not make it into serial production. In Czechoslovakia, the car was criticized for too angular shapes, but in the West, in Road and Track magazine, the Škoda 110 Supersport was rated better than the Aston Martin prototype.[1]
