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.

Skoda Superb - A New Era

This book, somewhat like the model of car it showcases, is beautifully designed. It features high-quality photography, arranged in extensive galleries, followed by important model information - the "Superb" dossier and a complete history of the Skoda brand and its roots, celebrating a legacy of 120 years.
Exceptional, superior, just superb: the new Skoda Superb at close range.

Škoda - L'exception tchèque

En décembre 2020, Škoda célèbrait son 125e anniversaire. 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.
