Skoda Auto Volkswagen India launches its first-ever student car project in India.
Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWIPL) has announced its first-ever student car project in India. Selected students from the Group Academy's Dual Vocational Training in Mechatronics program have created a unique cabriolet version of the Skoda Rapid sedan. This project offers students hands-on experience in the automotive industry.
The mechatronics students undertook a car project and converted a Skoda Rapid into a cabriolet. Among the various customisations, the one that draws attention is the retractable Skoda badge on the bonnet. The ‘winged arrow’ logo pops up from the bonnet and retracts back at a touch of a button.
Piyush Arora, Managing Director and CEO of Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited, said, "We are excited to introduce the Student Car project to India, providing vocational school pupils with a unique opportunity to design and create their dream car by rebuilding one of the cars from the Skoda portfolio while adding innovative ideas.”
They also added sleek LED lip lighting to the front bonnet to enhance the sporty appearance. In addition, the project car also gets an illuminated ‘Skoda’ inscription on the bootlid to give it a distinct appearance. Several other sporty bits exist, like the fully-loaded black accessories package with a yellow catch radium flow character line and yellow-painted brake callipers.
