Beskid was a series of economy hatchback car prototypes in Poland designed by BOSMAL Automotive Research and Development Center during 1982-1986[1].

The car never went into mass production due to political reasons.[citation needed] All seven prototypes were to be destroyed, but three managed to be saved.[citation needed]

The body style was patented, but BOSMAL lacked funds for the extension of the patent, and it inspired the French Renault Twingo, released more than 10 years later.[2]

The name comes from the Beskids mountains.
