The rear half of the car is decorated with a hand-made spoiler. The bumper has been redesigned as well, with integrated twin tailpipes, only one of which is functional.

The engine has been kept unchanged from the regular 1.0-liter MPI petrol engine, rated at 74 horsepower. The engine can take the car to 100 km/h in 13.9 seconds before reaching its top speed of 170 km/h.

A lot of work has been done to the interior of the Skoda Citigo which now comes with leather covered three-spoke steering wheel with red-stitching and leather wrapped handbrake lever.
The seat covers and floor mats come from the Skoda Citigo Sport.
The dashboard, meanwhile, is mostly white, with red contrast.
Last but not the least, the CitiJet is equipped with a 300-watt sound system that's connected LED lights that react to the music being played.

"Our apprentices have put their hearts and souls into this vehicle. Every little detail, no matter how small, was discussed, agreed upon and put into practice by the team. It was a real team effort. The outcome: a unique and emotional car, of which everybody involved should be very proud of," said Skoda design head Jozef Kabaƈ.
