10th anniversary of Skoda Octavia vRS Bonneville

In 2011, Skoda produced its fastest model ever, the Octavia vRS. The goal was to build a car that would set the fastest time on Bonneville Salt Flats, which they did.

Today, 10 years later, the Octavia RS has been restored. This high-performance car attracted buyers with its practicality. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter six-cylinder TSI engine with 600 hp that delivers power to the front wheels. The engine is paired with a gearbox, with a limited slip differential, taken from the Superb GreenLine.

The car is equipped with a better intercooler, a larger radiator, new engine mounts and a remapped ECU. It uses 15-inch steel rims with Goodyear Eagle Dragway tires and is lowered by 3.1 inches (80 mm).

In addition to the fastest time achieved at Bonneville Salt Flats, the Octavia vRS also reached a top speed of 227 mph (366 km / h). Last year, the fastest time was set by the Speed ​​Demon with 3,156 horsepower with a top speed of 482 mph (776 km / h).
