ŠKODA TAKING ON BONNEVILLE SPEED WEEK – IN A 200 MPH OCTAVIA

Posted 9th June, 2011 in Škoda | Leave a comment

Not content with dominating the IRC championship, Skoda is turning its attentions to the American salt flats. That’s right; to celebrate ten years of the Octavia vRS, Skoda will be taking a special one-off model, hopefully capable of cracking 200mph, to the iconic Bonneville Speed Week. Along with VAG tuning wizards REVO Technik, skoda is developing a car that will use the same 2.0L TSI unit as seen in the road car. But, with the addition of a new Garrett turbocharger and 26-28 PSI of boost, 600PS should be a realistic output figure.
