Skoda FUNstar
Will remain a one-off
Skoda has taken the wraps off the FUNstar, a pickup truck
concept based on the third generation Fabia.
Skoda's apprentices are at it again as after last year's Citigo
cabrio concept billed CitiJet
they have returned with a pickup conversion for the new Fabia supermini. Set to
remain a one-off, the FUNstar is heading to next month's Worthersee with 18-inch
wheels and a 1.2 TSI engine teamed up with a 7-speed DSG. Initially, the
apprentices wanted to squeeze in the 1.8 TSI motor but it was just too big to
fit inside the engine bay.
The neon
green accents on the alloys can also be seen on the
mirror caps, side skirts, front grille surround, LED daytime running
lights and
also on the lower portions of the bumpers while the neons installed
underneath the car remind us of the golden days of NFS. The FUNstar also
benefits from a
dual-vented hood, LED projectors displaying the company logo while the
rear
doors were chopped off to make room for the pickup bed made from
stainless
steel metal. It benefits from a frameless body with reinforcements on the
sides as well as a widened B pillar which was necessary to handle the
transformation from a hatchback to a pickup truck.
Stepping inside the two-seater cabin, it's fairly standard but
has received a 1,400-watt sound system which includes a powerful 200-watt subwoofer.
It also boasts a three-spoke, flat-bottomed steering wheel wrapped in leather,
a touchscreen infotainment system with support for smartphone connectivity,
along with neon green accents and other minor tweaks.
