Q.Skoda's Students Design Brilliant Concept

[USER="40"]Praveen[/USER] more performance! It has a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol. You just need a remap. Car's like these are fun with just 150 horses under the hood. You don't need a 300+bhp hatchback do you.

Reminds me of Need For Speed Underground 2. The rear feels like fastback design, doesn't it? I had fun in my childhood 'ricing' out cars in Underground, but now I'm too old for this. haha! I'd rather sell off all those fancy audio equipment and lighting system and ask [USER="42"]CorsaVeloce[/USER] for more performance lol.

This sporty coupe from Skoda is called the Atero. Looks stunning for an end-of-term school project doesn’t it? Skoda’s apprentice students were asked to design a car based on the European Rapid and this is what they have come up with. Not a bad effort at all, if you ask me. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n11081[/ATTACH] On to the concept then. At the front, what you see is the face of a Skoda Rapid with a sportier bumper with a lip spoiler painted red. The grille is finished in matte black, much like @konark tyagi’s Laura, and gets a red surround. To give it a boy racer-ish (it was designed by a room full of teenagers anyway), the addition of louvres enhance it’s cool quotient. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n11082[/ATTACH] The profile of the car is unlike any Skoda before. It’s a lot like the Honda CRX actually. Since it is a coupe, it gets only two doors and a swoop roofline. The wheels were borrowed from the Octavia. At the rear, the Atero looks a lot like a BMW X6. It gets a large bootlid with a red spoiler. The rear window appears seamless as it extends into the panoramic sunroof. The bumpers are from the bone-stock Rapid, but the lower portion has been paired red. Teenagers I say! [ATTACH=CONFIG]n11083[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n11084[/ATTACH] 26 students from Skoda’s academy of designers spent a collective 1700 hours to create the Atero concept and they thought borrowing the sports exhaust from the Octavia vRS would be fun. Boy, were they right. The dual exhaust tips look mean and I’m pretty sure it’s soundtrack would be equally insane as well. The students also added a 1800-watt 14-speaker sound system and a red neon-glow underbody lighting. Maybe the could qualify for the next Fast and Furious don’t you think? [ATTACH=CONFIG]n11085[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n11086[/ATTACH] Under the Atero’s bonnet, you’d find Skoda’s 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine that puts out a hot-hatch like 123bhp to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. With Skoda ditching the Fabia vRS, I think this could be a good replacement for all the boy racers out there. Now, if only they bring it here… [ATTACH=CONFIG]n11087[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n11088[/ATTACH] [USER="42"]CorsaVeloce[/USER], [USER="18"]MotuSid[/USER] whaddaya think?
