VRS Top Speed

CelticLhad · 16-07-2008, 21:04

Honestly never been close to what is quoted here in WhatCar.co.uk

Skoda Octavia Hatchback 2.0 TFSI vRS 5dr Performance & Measurements Review - What Car?

Is there a faster car on the road?

Pinty · 16-07-2008, 21:08

Were WhatCar using a chipped vRS or the standard car?

apd007 · 16-07-2008, 21:11

That has got to be a chipped car, my standard won't get close to that

smstext · 16-07-2008, 22:13

thats speed of sound innit?

Mater · 16-07-2008, 22:25

Bloody hell

Wonder if thats with a KO4 Conversion

gadgetman · 16-07-2008, 22:36

That's the Skoda tuning house version.

You know. Abarth, no that's fiat. Kompres, no that's not it either....

smstext · 16-07-2008, 22:37

bengie · 16-07-2008, 22:44

dan_the_v8man · 16-07-2008, 22:49

Lance · 16-07-2008, 22:51

After some of the stories I've seen on here following re-maps, What Car have clearly got the Octavia and Fabia performance stats mixed up.

gadgetman · 16-07-2008, 22:54

Cant have been a furby lance, as doesnt have the disclaimer that the figure was done on it's roof

In dry air at 20 degrees Centigrade at ground level, it's about Mach 1.945.

Any reports on what the road noise is like?

Chipped or otherwise, unless they have changed the gearbox it isn't going to make much difference unless the engine runs out of puff/you run out of road to get you to max revs in top gear.

Then again no matter what you do to it short of stick a couple of rockets on it, there is no way it's hitting that speed

Was going to say, it's about twice the speed of sound! A supersonic Octy . . . Czech's answer to Concorde.

Maybe they gave it to Scotty who squeezed a bit more out that warp engine but he canne gi any more pooower

**TaviaRS** · 17-07-2008, 17:40

No Octavia would go that fast, must have picked up a reading for the 2.0 Fabia that was "taking it like a king"
