Futuristic Rendering Breathes New Life Into 1905 Laurin & Klement Voiturette 12 May 2021, 12:33 UTC ·

One artist, or rather, automotive designer, Yuhan Zhang, seems to have a passion for the famed vehicle. Tracking this designer via Behance, her resume shows intern and designer work starting with Volvo, through Suzuki and BMW, and finally arriving at Skoda. That makes sense as to why she chose to redesign the first Skoda automobile.
However, if you were to follow the rabbit hole deeper, you’d find that this design is actually part of a Skoda Design and Skoda Storyboard web series called Icons Get a Makeover, where young designers bring a modern twist to iconic Skoda vehicles. This is one of those twists.
Watch: six decades (well, with a break in the middle) of Skoda s mainstream family car.
Skoda might have been the punchline to a bad joke for people over a certain age, but those jokes don’t really work anymore, because Skoda has been cool for some time now. In fact, come 2021, seeing a Skoda in your rearview mirror will be most certainly not be a joke, as the company, that is part of the huge Volkswagen Group, recently signed a deal to supply vehicles to the New Zealand police following Holden’s dramatic, but hardly unexpected, demise. But what do you exactly know about Skoda? How about the fact that it is actually one of the oldest car manufacturers in the world, with a rich and varied history that has led it to where it is today? No? Well, now you do.
