Skoda Vision GT Electric Concept Revealed

The computer-animated design mode Skoda Vision GT is among the highlights of the ‘Design and Transformation’ exhibition in Brussels. Several Czech companies present products and designs from 1990 to 2020 at this event to mark the Czech Republic’s EU presidency. In creating the Vision GT model, the Skoda Design team found inspiration in the Skoda 1100 OHC from 1957.

The automaker uses the concept to signal sustainable sportiness and emotion in the digital age. The digital Vision GT ties in with the tradition of the ‘Icons Get a Makeover’ series, which includes iconic models from the company’s history, such as the 130 RS, FELICIA and RAPID MONTE CARLO.

Like the 1100 OHC, the Vision GT is a red, open-top racing car. However, it is designed as a single-seater, with the driver sitting in the vehicle’s centre. Above the futuristic carbon steering wheel, which is flattened at the top and bottom, there is a flat on-screen bar that doubles as a windshield. Important information is projected directly onto the driver’s helmet visor, similar to a head-up display. An active cockpit with a flexibly suspended seat is designed to compensate for g-forces optimally.

Clear lines and sharp edges characterise the exterior of the flat Vision GT. The design echoes current Formula E racing cars, particularly in the spectacular two-piece rear wing. Active aerodynamics also ensure optimum driving performance at all times. Shining in bright red between the two upper wing profiles is the new Skoda wordmark in the form of a hologram. It also appears on the very flat front of the Vision GT and references the curved Skoda line.

The ‘Design and Transformation’ exhibition at the Design Museum in Brussels is open until 8 January 2023, with some exhibits also on display at Prague House in Brussels until 2 October 2022.
