Skoda Octavia RS-P

Skoda Australia has raided the parts bin and created a one-off track-focused Octavia RS-P. In this case P stands for Project and that is a perfect description for this car.

Fitted with semi-slick tyres, fully adjustable suspension, including front and rear strut braces, there is method to this factory backed madness. Further enhancing the car’s performance prowess are seriously uprated four pot brakes up front and a three inch stainless exhaust with custom cold air intake. All the underskin enhancements have been set off beautifully with gloss black 18″ alloys.

At this stage the ECU has been left untouched, but the 2.0 litre turbo should be good for a few more kilowatts thanks to the exhuast mod. A Skoda Australia rep says plans do exist for upping the car’s boost, which should take power to at least 190kW and torque up to around 350Nm.

There are no plans to sell the RS-P to the public just yet, but what do you think? Do you reckon Skoda could sell a few tweaked RS-P’s to the Australian market?
