Built 1984–1990, the Skoda Rapid Typ 743 / 747 1.2 120 coupe develops 40 kW (54 PS) from a 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine. A four-speed manual gearbox sends the Rapid Typ 743 / 747 1.2 120's drive to the rear wheels.

This is the entry point among the 3 versions of the Rapid Typ 743 / 747; the range-topping 1.3 136 (46 kW) has 15% more power. Rivals worth a side-by-side look against the Rapid Typ 743 / 747 1.2 120: the Volkswagen Polo.
