02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model production"the only surviving example of a small series" with V8 engine, Škoda Museum (Storyboard, August 2020) | 13 | Surviving examples | Factory reported |
| Total model productioneight-cylinder Superb 4000s produced 1939–1940 | 121,2 | Factory production | Factory reported |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Škoda built the Superb 4000 with an eight-cylinder engine as a small series in 1939-40, above the Superb 3000 OHV six. Škoda's 2023 account says twelve were produced, another 2023 release says about ten. The Škoda Museum holds what its 2020 article calls the only surviving example, a year younger than the museum's 1939 Superb limousine.
