History
The following section is an excerpt from Wikipedia's Škoda Superb (1934–1949) and Škoda Superb pages on 17 November 2015, text available via the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
The original Škoda Superb was a luxury car produced by the Czech car manufacturer Škoda Auto from 1934 to 1949. It was Škoda's first car available with a V8 engine and all-wheel drive. The Superb nameplate was resurrected for a completely unrelated model in 2001, based on the Volkswagen Passat.
The current Škoda Superb is a full-size car (large family car in its first 2 generations) that has been produced by the Czech car manufacturer Škoda Auto since 2001.
The first generation of the modern Superb, produced from 2001 to 2008, was based on the B5 platform of the Volkswagen Passat, but was elongated by 10 cm (3.9 in). The second generation Superb used a stretched version of the PQ46 platform from the then-current Passat, and was introduced in 2008. The third, and current, generation entered production in 2015. It is currently the flagship model in Škoda's model range.
