Increase in power and sporty styling for the Skoda Octavia RS
Abt Sportsline has created power increasing tuning packages for the sporty Czech compact car with 2.0 TFSI engine. Through common chip tuning the performance of the standard 200 HP model is increased to 240 HP. In addition, Abt Sportsline�s innovative iS-technology is also applicable to this model. With iS, or intelligent Sport, the potential of modern control electronic is used in a perfect way and combined with a modification of the standard gearing unit, thus bringing about reduced consumption data. The Skoda Octavia RS with iS technology gains greater speeds at lower engine speed and a reduction in fuel consumption by up to four litres per 100 kilometres as well as a surge in driving pleasure at the same time.

2004 Skoda Octavia - www.robson.m3rlin.org
The Škoda Octavia is a large family car produced by Czech automaker Škoda Auto since 1996, its name revived from a model originally produced between 1959 and 1971. The current Octavia is available in five-door liftback and estate body styles. A common misconception is that the Octavia is a saloon due to its long boot. However in some markets (such as China) the Octavia is configured as a saloon.
The 1998 Octavia was responsible for kick-starting Skoda’s turnaround in the UK. When you look at sales today – 1.5% of the UK market, and rising – history will look upon it fondly. Based on the VW Golf platform (Skoda’s owned by the German giant), it was perceived as a bigger car than rivals such as the Ford Focus and Peugeot 307, thanks to a healthy rear overhang which yielded an enormous boot. Rear passengers often questioned this perception though. But, so able was it, and so well-priced, it’s since sold 60,000 units in the UK, and helped transform Skoda from the butt of jokes to one of the car buying public’s most well-respected makes. This all-new car, based on the latest Golf platform, aims to push things further, up to 15,000 per year, as the brand continues to gain respect.
