Skoda - Test drive video: racing legend Hans-Joachim Stuck tries out new Skoda Octavia RS 230
- Full throttle: Stuck takes new #octaviars230 out on the racing track
- Two-time Le Mans champion impressed by ŠKODA’s power package
- Power: from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds; top speed 250 km/h
Sporty design, modern technology and impressive power - the new ŠKODA #octaviars230 is pure emotion. The automotive power package showed what it is capable of during a test run. At the wheel: the two-time Le Mans champion and former Formula One driver #hansjoachimstuck.
Hans-Joachim 'Strietzel' Stuck is excited about the new power Octavia: “A fantastic day with a fantastic car,” was the 64-year-old’s conclusion. “ŠKODA has injected a double dose of dynamism into their sportiest model.” The new ŠKODA #octaviars230 is the most powerful production Octavia of all time. The 2.0 TSI turbocharged petrol engine with 230 hp accelerates the manual-transmission #octaviars230 from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds. The top speed is – for the first time in an Octavia – electronically limited at 250 km/h.
The electronically controlled limited-slip differential for particularly dynamic cornering is also celebrating its premiere in a ŠKODA series model. The #octaviars230 now features sports suspension as standard. The sporty design is highlighted with black design elements and 19-inch alloy wheels, along with leather sport seats and a sports steering wheel. The partially redeveloped exhaust system ensures a powerful sound.
Hans-Joachim Stuck was a successful racer in the 1970s and 1980s. From 1974 to 1976, he drove in Formula One. In addition, Struck won the famous 24-hour race at Le Mans twice.
