ŠKODA AFRIQ - Drive - Power for all four wheels for traction on any surface

In the AFRIQ, the vocational students have combined technology components from the base vehicle ŠKODA KAMIQ, a ŠKODA OCTAVIA and the rally model ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo. The body comes from the KAMIQ and the rally FABIA contributes components, particularly in the interior. The powertrain from a ŠKODA OCTAVIA 4×4 provides the necessary power for the eighth apprentice car. Here, a 7-speed direct shift gearbox (DSG) distributes the power of 140 kW (190 hp) and a maximum torque of 320 Nm to all four wheels. The ŠKODA AFRIQ is therefore ideally equipped for off-road use. Traditionally, participants in the Apprentice Car Project also incorporate technology components from other ŠKODA vehicles when designing their dream car and adapt them accordingly. In the case of the ŠKODA AFRIQ, this primarily concerns the drivetrain: the engine and transmission come from a ŠKODA OCTAVIA 4×4. The 2.0 TSI four-cylinder develops 140 kW (190 PS) and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. A 7-speed DSG distributes the power to all four wheels. The exhaust system has been adapted to the new engine and the modified underbody.
