The latest Skoda Student Concept car has been revealed in the form of a Dakar Rally-inspired off-roader.
Called the Skoda Afriq, it is based on the firm’s Kamiq SUV but has been given a series of modifications that would make it more adept at traversing challenging terrain.
It also looks to have switched the window glass for a lightweight alternative, while inside there are bucket seats by OMP visible along with a roll cage. This also means the interior has likely been stripped of all unnecessary weight, including the rear seats.
The Afriq was created by students at the Skoda Vocational School, which has designed and built the student concept cars since the 2013/14 academic year. This year saw the Motorsport division more involved than ever before.
There are seven previous examples of the Student Concept Car, with the first being the Citijet, a two-seat version of the Citigo. Other examples include the Funstar, which is a pickup version of the Fabia, while the Sunroq was a convertible version of the Karoq SUV.
