Skoda has revealed that the seventh Skoda student car will be called the Skoda Slavia.
The Slavia will be an emotive spider version of the Skoda Scala, and will recall the beginnings of the Skoda brand, marking the 125h anniversary of the company's founding.
Skoda claims the historical name fits perfectly with the students' idea of taking a journey through history with the modern Scala to a time when automobiles were open-top. A classic spider is wild and unconstrained. Through its consistent openness, the Skoda Slavia does not conform to conventions and also represents free-thought and the young generation’s carefree attitude.
The tradition of Skoda student cars started in 2014, when students of the Skoda vocational school in Mlada Boleslav were given the opportunity to plan, develop and build a spectacular concept car. Each one of these concept cars since then has illustrated the creativity and commitment of Skoda's up and coming talent.
