A Parisian Journey Through 130 Years

On two wheels

Škoda’s early days were all about two wheels. These roots were represented at the exhibition by a replica of the L&K Slavia bicycle from 1897, accompanied by two motorcycles: the single-cylinder L&K BZ from 1903 (pictured) and the twin-cylinder racing machine L&K CCR from 1905.

L&K Voiturette A

The L&K Voiturette A marked the brand’s entry into four-wheeled vehicles and launched automobile production in Mladá Boleslav, which continues to this day. The two-seater from 1905 featured a twin-cylinder engine with 7 hp, allowing it to reach a top speed of 40 km/h.

L&K Škoda 110

The L&K Škoda 110 is a testament to the merger of Laurin & Klement with the Škoda industrial group from Pilsen. Produced between 1925 and 1929, this car offered various body styles, ranging from a limousine to a truck.

Škoda Popular Sport Coupé

The 1934 Škoda Popular Sport Coupe is still admired for its elegance. The Škoda Museum has only recently acquired this unique racing car for its collection.

Škoda Rapid OHV

The Škoda Rapid OHV stood out at the exhibition with its irresistible highway bodywork. Thanks to a combination of aerodynamics and a 42 hp engine, the car could reach a speed of 110 km/h.

Škoda 1201 STW

The second half of the 20th-century section opened with the practical Škoda 1201 in the STW (Station Wagon) body style. The particular model on display was in the colours of a 1958 service vehicle.

Škoda Felicia 1961

A true beauty and an icon of Czechoslovak roads in the early 1960s, the Škoda Felicia was represented at the exhibition by a stunning green model from 1961.

Unique Škoda Models

Škoda’s playfulness and ambition were showcased with models like the 110 Super Sport from 1971. In 1981, this car underwent a unique transformation for film production, resulting in its current form, known as the Ferat. Another example of adaptability was the custom-built Trekka, designed specifically for the New Zealand market.

Škoda Octavia WRC

In 1999, the new Octavia WRC made its debut at the Rally Monte Carlo, competing against and taking on the best in the sport’s top category. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, this rally car became an icon, with posters of it adorning many children's bedrooms. Naturally, this icon of the Škoda Motorsport team was not to be missed at the show.

Škoda Superb Tour de France

Škoda Auto has not forgotten its roots and remains loyal to cycling, as evidenced by its more than 20-year main sponsorship of the famous Tour de France. On display at the exhibition in the home of the legendary race was the first Škoda director’s car from 2004.

Škoda Yeti Xtreme Concept

The Škoda Yeti Xtreme concept car from 2014 is a tuning showpiece that blended a compact SUV with rally ambitions. It featured a wide body, and 17-inch wheels fitted with off-road tires.

Škoda’s Current Production

Representing Škoda’s modern lineup at the exhibition were two electric vehicles, the Enyaq and the Elroq. The latter demonstrated its versatility with a special conversion into a mobile café.
