Škoda Reimagines 1970s 110 R as Electric Coupé Concept

The design study signals a heritage-led, EV-friendly styling direction with no specifications or production plan disclosed.

Overview

  • Škoda has unveiled rendered visuals and designer commentary for the 110 R Concept, a modern take on the rear-engined coupé produced from 1970 to 1980.
  • Lead designer Richard Švec says the goal was a new form with subtle nods to the original rather than a straight retro remake, targeting young drivers who enjoy motorsport.
  • Electrification enabled clean surfacing and a grille-less front, with concealed sliding headlights and a wraparound black treatment defining the face and tail.
  • Motorsport-influenced cues include turbofan-style wheels, active aero, rear quarter intakes, flared fenders, racing seats and a roll cage referencing the 130 RS.
  • No figures for power, range or dimensions were provided, and coverage widely assesses the concept as unlikely to reach production.
