The new student car will carry the name SLAVIA, a homage
to the first bicycles made by Laurin & Klement. ŠKODA
Vocational School students will thus join the celebrations of
ŠKODA’s history and revive one of its historical legends.
The SLAVIA is spider version on the basis of the SCALA.
Apprentices were inspired by the racing special 1100 OHC
(1957). The student car runs on a 1,5 TSI and 110 kW
petrol engine. Its white hi-tech paint with blue pearlescent
effect gives it an extraordinary gloss.
NO. OF THE WEEK
3 mil
We have reached yet another
milestone in China: today, the three
millionth ŠKODA rolled off the
assembly line in Ningbo since
production started in China in 2007.
Together with our joint venture
partner, we are currently producing
nine different models in various vehicle
segments at four Chinese plants. China
has been the strongest single market
for ŠKODA since 2010 and is the only
country where we offer five SUV
models.
The vehicle marking the record is an
SUV as well: ŠKODA KAROQ.
