Volkswagen-Skoda Hybrid Spied in Munich


Roman Jagatić is the latest addition to our ever-growing list of readers-turned-into spy photographers. Roman stumbled upon this strange looking Volkswagen-Skoda hybrid prototype parked at a gas station in Munich, Germany. The test car appears to combine a modified body of a Skoda Octavia with a Volkswagen front end.

While we do not have a definite answer to what it may be, possible scenarios include a test car for a new Skoda Octavia and a prototype for a Volkswagen-badged model for select markets outside Europe.

It could also be a test mule for the Volkswagen Group’s new MQB platform, or Modularer Querbaukasten, which roughly translates as modular transverse-engine kit. The MQB will form the base for an array of future models ranging in size from the VW Up! mini and the next Seat Ibiza supermini to the upcoming Audi A3 Sedan and the TT replacement.

Take a look at the photos below and tell us what you think in the comments section.

'Vielen Dank' to Roman J. for the scoop pics!
