Επίσημο: Skoda VisionC Concept

15:11 27/2/2014 - Πηγή: AutoBlog

Αυτό είναι λοιπόν το VisionC concept που μας teasαρε προ μερικών ημερών η Skoda και που θα κάνει το επίσημο ντεμπούτο του στην έκθεση της Γενεύης την ερχόμενη εβδομάδα. Πρόκειται για ένα “liftback” που δημιουργήθηκε για να καλύψει το κενό ανάμεσα στο Octavia και το Superb και να προσελκύσει νέους πελάτες στην εταιρία.

Το VisionC concept βασίζεται στην ίδια πλατφόρμα με το Octavia (MQB).

Ο σχεδιασμός του είναι τολμηρός , δυναμικός και συναισθηματικός και παρότι η Skoda δεν μοιράστηκε πληροφορίες σχετικά με τις διαστάσεις του πεντάθυρου coupe, μας λέει πως είναι αρκετά μεγάλο για να προσφέρει “άφθονους χώρους για 4 ανθρώπους και τις αποσκευές τους”.

Κάτω από το καπό, βρίσκεται το ίδιο powertrain που πρόσφατα είδαμε στην G-TEC έκδοση του Octavia Combi. Δηλαδή, ένας 1400άρης TSI που αποδίδει 110 άλογα και όταν λειτουργεί καταναλώνοντας CNG, χρειάζεται μόλις 3.4 kg/km και εκπέμπει μόλις 91 gr/km CO2.

Η έκδοση παραγωγής, αναμένεται να παρουσιαστεί κάποια στιγμή μέσα στο 2016.

Mladá Boleslav, 27 February 2014 – As a part of the most comprehensive model campaign in the brand’s history, ŠKODA is renewing and expanding its model range. The design language of the dynamic and elegant five-door coupé ‘ŠKODA VisionC’ introduces the next evolutionary step in ŠKODA design: The design is becoming more expressive, dynamic and emotional and underpins the dawn of the brand. At the same time the five-door coupé concept demonstrates the possibilities in innovative and emotional chassis design.

For more than 100 years, ŠKODA has been manufacturing cars with high demands on design. ŠKODA is once again emphasising the traditional brand’s expertise in design and engineering through the ‘ŠKODA VisionC’ design concept.

“We are signalling the next stage in the evolution of ŠKODA’s design language with ‘ŠKODA VisionC’, and thus highlighting the dawn of the brand. The vehicle demonstrates the company’s outstanding design and engineering expertise, and underpins the dynamism and value of one of the world’s longest-established automotive companies,” says Prof. Dr. h.c. Windried Vahland, ŠKODA CEO.

As a five-door coupé, the ‘ŠKODA VisionC’ features a new expressive, dynamic and emotional design language. The interplay of soft, slightly contoured, concave and convex surfaces, as well as sharp, precise lines creates an immediate impact. The surfaces and proportions demonstrate clear arrangement and a striking interaction of light and shadow. The front has an air of confidence and energy, and the tailgate adds an element of surprise, accentuated with a radical conclusion.

In addition to its creative ambition, the ‘ŠKODA VisionC’ impressively demonstrates the ŠKODA engineers’ concept of ingenuity; design, engineering, space, functionality and the emotional coupé shape combine in compelling unity. The ‘ŠKODA VisionC’ provides plenty of room for four people and their luggage.

The large boot and excellent loading capacity are characteristic of ŠKODA. Modern MQB technology, approaching series-produced drive systems, low weight and optimised aerodynamics also demonstrate the high potential of responsible individual mobility.

Under the bonnet, we find a CNG/petrol bivalent 1.4 TSI/81 kW turbo engine. On natural gas, the vehicle consumes a mere 3.4 kg or 5.1 m3 CNG per kilometre, equating to CO2 emissions of only 91 g/km. ŠKODA has made a huge leap in demonstrating that even attractive mid-class vehicles can meet the stringent EU2020 CO2 emissions standard with today’s conventional drive technology.
