Teardrop Cars
CLASSIC CARS
Aerodynamically, the shape of a drop of water faces the least air resistance, so in the years running up to the Second World War, numerous ŠKODA vehicles strove to replicate this “teardrop” look.

The 532 and 536 bus prototypes also featured aerodynamic rear sections. The triple-axle 532 with independent suspension on all wheels was particularly impressive. Its rear-mounted engine was separated from the 35-seater passenger compartment by a soundproofed partition and could be reached via a hatch. The wheels on both rear axles were skirted for improved aerodynamics. The upcoming war, however, halted the development of these prototypes.
