Škoda - A Car That Made History

In one of the most fascinating technological success stories in the world, Škoda combines the traditions of a hundred-year-old motoring brand with its modern image as a global car company.

Fasten your seat belts - it'll be quite a ride!

Skoda : Driven by Design

Skoda is one of the world's oldest auto manufacturers. The company was established in 1895 by Vaclav Klement and Vaclav Laurin and initially used the founders' last names as the company name.
The headquarters, however, have always been in Mlada Boleslav, northeast of Prague. Skoda vehicles have always been known for their emotional and contemporary design: from the hand-built Skoda 860 (1929-1933) and the Skoda Popular Monte Carlo (1935-1938) to the Skoda Octavia Combi (1961-1971).

On April 16, 1991, "Skoda Automobil AG" became part of the Volkswagen Group. But one thing has never changed: Skodas do more than move people; they move dreams as well. A new approach to the automotive world that focuses on the industry's brilliant minds and the ideas they create.

Fascinating photographs, drawings, and renderings make "Driven by Design" a special treat for both car lovers and design professionals.

Škoda - L'exception tchèque

Contrairement à la plupart des marques de l'Est nées d'une décision bureaucratique à l'époque du "Rideau de fer", Škoda a toujours été animée par des ingénieurs, des techniciens et des ouvriers mus par l'amour de l'automobile.

Foisonnant en illustrations d'époque et en photographies de modèles, ce beau livre séduira à la fois les passionnés d'histoire de l'automobile, mais aussi les curieux de voitures méconnues et originales. En effet, le constructeur tchèque Škoda est l'un des plus vieux d'Europe. Avant-guerre, ses automobiles incarnaient le luxe de Bohême et toute la splendeur de Prague.

Historie automobilu Škoda - od roku 1905 do soucasnosti

A selection of 21 of the most famous cars produced in Mladá Boleslav, which provide a concentrated, almost X-ray view of the history of the Škoda brand and its predecessor Laurin & Klement, as well as the history of automotive technology.
Each model is presented in a detailed technical transparency by Jirí Dufek, supplemented by other technical drawings or examples of drawing documentation.

The profile of the car is of course illustrated by color and black-and-white photographs from the archives of the authors and the car manufacturer. A large amount of visual material is connected by interesting texts by Jan Králík about the development of individual models, their production and sporting successes, and also introduces several personalities from the many who contributed to the success or fame of Mladá Boleslav cars.
The narrative color book will delight anyone who is at least a little interested in cars and will certainly appeal to die-hard fans of Škoda cars.

Text in Czech language.
