The students worked on the new project for over two thousand hours and the build itself took four months. The most time-consuming part of the whole process was the modification of the body of the production ŠKODA KAMIQ, whose rear doors the students welded into the body and extended the rear wheel arches together with the front bumper of the car. The reason for this extensive modification of the bodywork was primarily the addition of the drive train, including the engine and gearbox, which are completely derived from the ŠKODA OCTAVIA 4x4.
As a result, the AFRIQ is 4,362 millimetres long, 1,793 millimetres wide and 1,410 millimetres high, with a wheelbase of 2,649 millimetres and a ground clearance of 180 millimetres. The four-cylinder 2.0 TSI engine produces 140 kW (190 hp) and transmits maximum torque of 320 Nm to all four wheels via a seven-speed DSG transmission.
