Skoda unveiled the new Octavia RS about a month ago. The car made its public appearance during Goodwood Festival of Speed, and now it is ready to star in its first commercial. A funnny one.
The new Octavia RS accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 248 km/h (with manual six-speed gearbox).
Two new engines power the new Skoda Octavia RS. There is a choice of the two-litre petrol 162 kW (220 HP) or two-litre diesel 135 kW (184 HP). The 2.0 TSI-petrol, in conjunction with the six-speed manual gearbox, thrusts the Octavia RS from 0 to 100 km/h in only 6.8 seconds. The maximum speed now lies at 248 km/h, making it 6 km/h faster than the second generation Octavia RS. The new Octavia RS 2.0 TDI-diesel manages 0 to 100 km/h in 8.1 seconds with a top speed of 232 km/h (with six-speed manual gearbox).
Compared to the second generation Octavia RS, the new engines provide more power whilst consuming up to 19% less fuel. Start-Stop and Brake Energy Regeneration are fitted as standard. A manual gearbox or DSG dual clutch transmission are available as options for both engines, each with six gears.
In comparison to the second generation Octavia RS, the vehicle has grown significantly in length (+88 mm, combi +86 mm) and width (+45 mm). At the same time the wheelbase has risen by 102mm, enhancing the powerful image of the car as the shortened overhang. The series standard, red-lacquered brake callipers provide pure emotion, as do the powerful proportions, high tornado line and sharp, precise edges and lines.
