Mladá Boleslav transforms into a speedster’s paradise on February 14, 2024, as Škoda rolls out the latest Octavia RS, a true testament to the “more power, more flair” mantra. Sporting an exclusive 2.0 TSI engine that roars to life with 195 kW (265 hp) of raw power, this speed demon doesn’t just drive – it flies on the road, albeit with its wheels firmly on the ground. The dynamic alloy wheels add a dash of dazzle to its athletic stance, while the gloss black exterior and seductive red reflector strip flirt with admirers as it zooms by.
This isn’t your average family car; it’s a family car that went to the gym and never left. The Octavia RS, bearing the iconic RS badge that’s synonymous with Škoda’s sporty lineage since 2000, now boasts an engine that’s not just about the brawn but also brains, thanks to the Budack cycle for better efficiency. It’s mated to a 7-speed automatic DSG transmission that ensures smooth shifts even when you’re pushing it to the limits, complemented by a sports suspension lowered by 15 millimetres for that hunkered-down look.
The car’s sporty ethos is echoed inside with the RS Fabric and RS Suedia Design Selections, where black dominates and red stitching adds a pop of color, ensuring you feel the speed even before you hit the accelerator. The 13-inch central display keeps you in command at all times, while the sports seats hug you tight, making sure you’re snug and secure as you take on the curves.
Škoda hasn’t just updated the Octavia RS; they’ve transformed it into a symphony of speed, style, and sophistication, all while ensuring the rumble of the engine and the sleek black tailpipes remind you that this beast is always ready to pounce. It’s not just a car; it’s a statement on wheels that says, “Catch me if you can.”
