The seventh \u0160koda Student Concept Car, designed by 31 students attending the renowned \u0160koda vocational school, links the past with the future: the uncompromisingly open-top \u0160KODA SLAVIA pays homage to this year\u2019s brand anniversary by commemorating the name of the first bicycles produced by V\u00e1clav Laurin and V\u00e1clav Klement after they founded the company in 1895.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The spider variant of the Scala combines the contemporary compact model\u2019s bold and exciting lines with a common design standard from the earliest days of motoring, when most automobiles were open-top vehicles. From first draft to building this one-off car, the students completed every step themselves, with support from their instructors as well as experts in the design, production and technical development departments from \u0160koda.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The students were also followed in the design by the head of brand design, Oliver Stefani: “Despite the increasing use of computers and simulations, design is still an essential part of the work of automotive designers. At every turn, an idea turns into something real. A sketch is the first of many steps on the long and exciting journey to a new car,” says Stefani. The Scala spider is born from a sketch on a blank sheet of paper. The creation of a ‘student car’ has been a tradition in \u0160koda since 2014.<\/p>\n<\/div>
