Rapid foundation :
The first Indian student dream car is a cabriolet based on the Škoda Rapid which was the very first Škoda car developed specifically for the Indian market. The Rapid for India has always differed in technical terms from cars sold in Europe. The sedan made in the factory in Puna is built on the PQ25 platform that was the foundation for small and compact Volkswagen Group cars before the current MQB platform.
Debut student car in India: a Rapid cabriolet
ŠKODA WORLD
Do you know what Škoda’s Azubi project is? Unique cars designed by secondary school students. Now one is being designed by students in India.
The academy run by Škoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWIPL) has presented its first ever student car project. A team composed of students from the 3.5 year “mechatronics” course has designed a cabriolet based on the Škoda Rapid sedan.
Some interesting details show that the students really went to town with the car. These include a retractable Škoda badge on the bonnet, elegant LED lights on the radiator grille and an illuminated Škoda sign on the boot cover. There are also a number of sporty visual elements, such as an array of black accessories with a yellow line or brake callipers painted yellow.
There were numerous modifications to the interior, with the radio replaced by a modern tablet-style touchscreen infotainment system. The need to integrate safety belts into the structure of the front seats - because cabriolets don’t have B-pillars - was a technical challenge. The seats were given scarlet leather covers, and the entire experience is emphasised by the engine noise emphasised with a sports exhaust system.
