Skoda has unveiled its latest apprentice-designed concept car, and this – the Afriq – might be our favourite one yet.

The Czech firm has been letting its Vocational School students design and build a concept since the 2013/14 academic year, and the 25 teens this year were apparently inspired by the Dakar Rally. They’ll go far.

The Afriq is based on the dinky Kamiq crossover, but the students worked with Skoda Motorsport to create this glorious stripped-out, two-door iteration with big arches, a proper rear wing and many rally-spec spotlights.

Around 2,000 hours of work went into creating the Afriq, chiefly because underneath there’s the engine, gearbox and four-wheel drive system from a 2.0-litre 4cyl Octavia 4x4. Nice. Apparently power sits at 187bhp, but the thing only weighs 1,350kg so it should get a shift on over any sort of surface.

Inside there’s the dash, steering wheel and six-point harnesses from a Fabia rally car, as well as a full roll-cage, a proper adventure navigation system and a drinking water generator that extracts the stuff from humidity in the air. Very clever.

What do we reckon, Internet? Fancy having a crack at giving this year’s students a grade?
