A The foundation stone for ŠKODA AUTO’s success story was laid by the founding fathers Laurin and Klement in 1905 with the L&K Voiturette A.

It was the company’s first automobile ten years after the company, which began by producing bicycles and later motorbikes, was founded.

Highlights from the 1930s include the impressive ŠKODA SUPERB, which was the brand’s flagship model even at that time, offering a spacious interior and a high level of driving comfort, and the ŠKODA POPULAR MONTE CARLO, which, thanks to its transaxle design with a transmission on the rear axle, had outstanding handling characteristics.

It was in honour of this special model, which celebrated victories at the legendary Monte Carlo Rally, that ŠKODA introduced the MONTE CARLO designation that still denotes the sporty model versions of the FABIA, SCALA and KAMIQ today.

Just like the POPULAR MONTE CARLO, the ŠKODA FELICIA from 1959 is also a design icon.

ŠKODA reinvented itself visually with the convertible, reflecting a style that was the height of fashion at the time.
