All-electric coupé to be part of five-EV range. Rear-motor layout echoes that of 110 R from seventies.
SKODA bosses have confirmed for the first time that the Czech brand is looking to develop an all-electric sports car. It will be one of five EVs due on sale by 2025, Auto Express can exclusively reveal.
Speaking about the history of the brand and some of its most iconic models, Christian Strube, Skoda’s boss for technical development, told us: “The story that Skoda is all about function, it is not true. Skoda has 120 years of history, it’s full of emotion.”
Strube referenced the rear-engined, rear wheel-drive 110 R Coupé (see panel) from the seventies as the sort of variety and excitement previously seen in the manufacturer’s range. Asked if Skoda would ever make a car like the 110 R – which he owns an example of – Strube replied: “Yes, but electric.” Our exclusive images illustrate how Skoda’s electric sports car could look.
