Skoda teases third-gen Octavia RS again
Czech automaker Skoda has published another teaser photo for the upcoming third generation of the Octavia RS which will be shown to the public on July 11th at the 2013 edition of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Skoda says this will be the company’s “fastest road-going” model and at the same time promises to provide a “motorsport feel, great design, intelligent engineering and outstanding value for money.” There aren’t any specifications available at this point, but they did say it will be wider, longer and also lighter than the second-gen model.
Under the hood it will probably feature a 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbocharged engine rated at about 220 HP (162 kW) and a peak torque of 258 lb-ft (350 Nm). In terms of styling, we will probably see a sporty body kit, a spoiler mounted on the trunk and more aggressive side skirts. Chances are the 2013 Skoda Octavia RS will also feature a dual exhaust setup, glossy black accents and LED daytime running lights.
