The new version swaps the rear-mounted four-cylinder gasoline engine for an <strong>electric motor<\/strong>. The concept is shaped by the brand&#8217;s new <strong>Modern Solid<\/strong> design language, rather than retro lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design and Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Skodas-Iconic-Coupe-Adapted-for-the-Modern-Era-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Skodas-Iconic-Coupe-Adapted-for-the-Modern-Era-1-1024x575.webp 1024w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Skodas-Iconic-Coupe-Adapted-for-the-Modern-Era-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Skodas-Iconic-Coupe-Adapted-for-the-Modern-Era-1-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Skodas-Iconic-Coupe-Adapted-for-the-Modern-Era-1-390x220.webp 390w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Skodas-Iconic-Coupe-Adapted-for-the-Modern-Era-1-150x84.webp 150w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Skodas-Iconic-Coupe-Adapted-for-the-Modern-Era-1-scaled.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The car boasts a <strong>futuristic design<\/strong> featuring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Retractable headlights<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fluid body lines<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Concealed sensors<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Digital side mirrors<\/strong> (cameras)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Details like the air intakes on the side, where <strong>door handles<\/strong> are absent, and the classic <strong>S 110 R badge<\/strong> on the rear pay homage to the past.
