Škoda will show modern interpretations of its essential cars. The brand’s first car is an autonomous carriage

The carmaker, in cooperation with designers from the Škoda Design department, has prepared a series in which it will gradually present modern interpretations of its fundamental models. Of course, it starts with the first car ever built in Mladá Boleslav.

The first car of the Czech carmaker is the two-seater Laurin & Klement Voiturette A, which was born in 1905 – ten years after the founding of L&K. The name Voiturette A comes from a French diminutive for a cart or a small car.

The machine was powered by a four-stroke liquid-cooled two-cylinder fork with a volume of 1005 cm3 and a power of 5 kW, which was enough for a maximum speed of 40 km / h. 44 pieces were produced.

The L&K Voiturette A was chosen by Yuchan Chang, a young designer from China who works in the interior design department. For example, she participated in the Vision E study and is currently completing tasks related to an unnamed future production car of the brand.

And what fascinated her about Voiturette A? “This car is amazing, so simple, and yet it has a lot of beautiful to artistic details. And the sofa is exactly as comfortable as I imagined, “she said after sitting behind the wheel of the exhibit at the Škoda Museum.
