The car was designed and carried through as far as the production stage by the company's subsidiary plant in Kvasiny that, after merging with the Mlada-Boleslav-based ŠKODA, specialised in the production of small-series commercial and sports vehicles, including the Felicia, a highly popular convertible.

The ŠKODA 110 R Coupe was based on the ŠKODA 100/110 the production of which had been launched one year earlier, i.e. in 1969, as the successor to the 1000/1100 MB. In November 1967, the company management approved the concept of the new coupe, and the first prototype was built on 31 March, 1968. The car was then introduced to consumers at the Brno trade fair (5 -14 September, 1970).

The ŠKODA 110 R had a fastback body, 2+2 seats and, as is right and proper for a coupe, doors with frameless windows and an aerodynamically sloped front window. Furthermore, the 110 R was stronger than the ŠKODA 110 sedan (62 HP vs. 53 HP, respectively). The body of the 110 R Coupe became the platform for a number of sports specials. In 1974, ŠKODA built three prototypes (180 RS and 200 RS) that were then used as the base for the 130 RS, a very successful sports model. The last ŠKODA 110 R Coupe was assembled in Kvasiny on 30 December, 1980.
