Scoop: New 2013 Skoda Octavia RS with VW Golf GTI Heart Makes an EarlyAppearance

|

While Skoda told North American country that we should always expect to visualize the superior RS (or vRS within the United Kingdom) version of the fresh introduced 2013 Octavia someday next year, the auto maker itself appears to possess uploaded the automotive on its official configurator by mistake (?).The images from Skoda's web site ar a shade fuzzy, however they still permit North American country to visualize what the new Octavia RS can seem like on the surface.
Differentiating the RS from its lesser siblings could be a refined cosmetics package with a brand new, deeper front bumper with what appearance to be LED daytime running lights and honeycomb inserts, black mirror caps, aspect skirts and black door trims, and a discreet boot lid spoiler and a brand new rear bumper with red accents and tetragon tail pipes.
A new set of alloy wheels and red brake calipers complete the car's sportier look.
Being that the Octavia III shares its technical hardware with the new VW Golf, {you won't|you can not} be stunned to be told that the RS model will borrow successive GTI's a pair of.0-liter turbocharged TSI four-cylinder engine with AN output of 217hp (220PS) and peak force of 350 Nm (258 lb-ft).
We expect Skoda to supply 2 transmission choices on the new 2013 Octavia RS, a six-speed manual and a 7-speed DSG twin clutch automotive vehicle, each driving the front wheels via a restricted slip differential.
