Skoda is known for its sharp looking attractive cars. In its present product portfolio, the automaker has a range of very stylish vehicles with the latest design language. But, have you ever imagined a convertible from the Czech manufacturer? Well, someone did and here comes an imaginative rendering of the Skoda Octavia cabriolet.
The drop-tops are surely not for everyone, but for the niche market. If Skoda considers the Octavia cabriolet, it can become one of the most beautiful and stylish looking convertibles in the world.

The front bumper sports a horizontal slat at the centre of the wide air intake and rectangular sharp fog lamps as well.
