\u0160koda Favorit comes back as a concept electric car<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The \u0160koda Favorit from the 1980s makes a comeback as a <\/span>concept<\/a> electric<\/a> car<\/a> with a smiling front design and headlights that project different patterns. As part of the Icons Get a Makeover series, the concept model is one of the \u0160koda vehicles that goes through a refresh, one that retains the history while keeping all things modern. For a brief history, the \u0160koda Favorit hatchback came out in 1987, designed by Bertone. It was built for the streets and roads around the Eastern Bloc, a homage as well to the company\u2019s headquarters in Mlad\u00e1 Boleslav, Czech Republic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Back then, it had a 1.3-liter engine and could run between 40 and 50 kW. It was in production up until 1994, when the Felicia model replaced it. Fast forward to 2025, \u0160koda taps designers Ljudmil Slavov and David Stingl to revive the \u0160koda Favorit, bringing it back as a concept and modern electric car. The design is a crossover between an SUV and a hatchback. It has a higher body structure, so there\u2019s more space for the battery placement in the floor. Ljudmil Slavov says that he finds it challenging to simplify the already minimalistic shapes by Bertone. Instead of changing that, he evolves and expands them, making the overall frame and look modern rather than retro.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0160koda Favorit electric car\u2019s face steers away a bit from the typical vehicle faces manufactured by the company. It\u2019s an intention by the designer Ljudmil Slavov, adding that because of this, he\u2019s able to maintain the Modern Solid style designed by Bertone for the original model from the 1980s. He has collaborated with his colleague David Stingl for the 3D sketches. His task is to give the \u0160koda Favorit electric car <\/span>\u2018volumetric proportions, shapes, and design elements so the result looks almost like a finished product with a Modern Solid expression,\u2019<\/span> he says.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The result includes a shared handle for the doors, split in the middle so they open in different directions. There are also pairs of simpler wheels, with an embedded look and four sections resembling a fan. Then, the headlights. They reference the original model, but this time, the LED lights at the front and rear of the \u0160koda Favorit electric car can project different patterns, customized by the owner. They\u2019re also framed by partially translucent covers, and their covers could be foldable, too. Because of these headlights, the face of the concept vehicle seems to smile. So far, the revived \u0160koda Favorit is a concept electric car. Aside from this, the design <\/span>team<\/a> has also conceived a racing concept vehicle inspired by the Favorit\u2019s rally heritage and with prominent bumpers made of soft-touch material.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
