Škoda Enyaq RS Race is a very interesting concept from the Czech manufacturer intended for the track. It is a high-performance all-electric coupe.
The concept is equipped with an aerodynamic body kit that includes a minimalistic front fascia, vents on the hood, extended fenders, small wings on the roof to direct air to the large rear wing, aerodynamic mirrors, as well as a massive diffuser and 20-inch wheels. There is also a new steering system, high-performance carbon-ceramic brakes, as well as an adjustable sports suspension.
Electric cars are heavy, so Škoda used a biocomposite material that offers the same stiffness and weight savings as carbon fiber, polycarbonate windows and a biocomposite panel that replaces the panoramic glass roof, making the concept 316 kilograms lighter than the road model.
The interior reveals that it is still a car intended for the track. This is primarily shown by the roll cage, two Atech racing seats with six-point belts, a fire extinguisher, and a hydraulic handbrake in the style of a rally car. In front of the driver is a racing-spec steering wheel, a bio-composite dashboard, and a 13-inch infotainment system. There is also a Havas premium sound system that provides an exciting autosport experience at speeds above 30 km/h, and Škoda points out that the noise is significantly higher compared to the standard Enyaq Coupe RS.
When it comes to the powertrain, there have been no changes. The Enyaq RS Race is powered by two electric motors with 340 hp (250 kW) and 501 lb-ft (679 Nm) of torque, which is enough to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 5 seconds. It is equipped with a lithium-ion 82.0 kWh battery that enables a range of 460 km.
