Octavia RS – Škoda's "super" Octavia hits the roads in autumn

The Czechs are said to be very close to the end of the development of an even more peppered version of the most sporty Octavia, and almost the only remaining decision that the leaders have to make now is whether to install a 230 KM engine from the Golf GTI or one with 280 KM from the Leon Cupre280. In terms of price, it should be positioned below the Leon Cupra and Golf R models.

According to the source, the engineers are said to be thinking from of two power-up alternatives namely, a 169 kilowatt (230 hp) 2.0-liter TSI engine is supposed to be installed under the hood, which is already running in the current golf GTI performance, and the second alternative is supposed to be the engine that provides the pressure in the new one leon cupra 280. Regardless of which engine will end up in the nose, the Octavia RS should get a limited range due to its better position on the road differential lock, but kept the front-wheel drive due to the lower price.

More details should be known next year, when Škoda actually celebrates the birthday in the introduction of the brand's most successful competition car, but it should be priced between the current Octavia RS and the Leon Cupra 280 and Golf R.

The most powerful version of the Octavia of all time will also differ from the current one in terms of exterior, which will be even more refined than that of the current RS.
