New Skoda Slavia speedster concept lands

Skoda has released pictures of an all-new one-off Skoda Slavia concept that claims to draw inspiration from a 1950s rally car.

Created by a team of 31 apprentices at the car-maker’s Mlada Boleslav training academy in the Czech Republic, the new Scala hatch-based Slavia speedster is the seventh student-led concept to roll out of the school gates, following in the tyre tracks of the Mountiaq ute and the sporty Atero coupe.

Borrowing its name from the bicycles originally made by Skoda’s founders, Václav Laurin and Václav Klement, the Slavia is said to have been inspired by the 1957 Skoda 1000 OHC racer that weighed just 550kg and was built for endurance rallies.
