Skoda Octavia vRS Bonneville

Czech automaker Skoda has released first photos and Specs of Skoda Octavia vRS Bonneville, which is celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the vRS (in the UK, simply RS for the rest of Europe) performance badge.

The Skoda Octavia vRS Bonneville developed in collaboration with REVO Technik in order to brake the 200 mph barrier. This special Skoda Octavia vRS is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder TSI petrol engine that has received a new Garret turbocharger developing 26-28 PSI of boost pressure and modified the engine to run on a high-octane race fuel (with water methanol mix) instead of unleaded petrol with output power of up to 600-horsepower and 450Nm (331.9 lb-ft) of peak torque. The Skoda Octavia vRS Bonneville has also been equipped with a limited slip differential, a new coilover suspension, aerodynamic wheel covers and Goodyear Eagle Land Speed tires.
